Another Lady's Exception, present at the Hearing
 

For his mind, I do not care,
That's a toy that I could spare :
Let his title be but great,
His clothes rich, and band sit neat,
Himself young, and face be good,
All I wish is understood.
What you please, you parts may call,
'Tis one good part I'd lie withal.
