But he, in a heat,
    Said the thing in debate,
Impos'd on Each sex might be,
    And would have made it clear,
    That some Dutchesses there,
Were as likely to do't as he;
    With a hum, &c.

The Colour then rose,
    'Mongst the noble Furbelows,
Of Honour, and most too, Wives,
    Who declar'd upon their rep,
    They ne'er made such a 'scape,
Nor e'er did such a thing in their lives
    As a hum, &c.

But the Gigling rout,
    That were waiting round about,
'Twas likely were heedless Jades,
    So that saving their own fame
    They agreed upon the sham,
To have turn'd it upon the poor Maids;
    With a hum, &c.

Who all drown'd in Tears,
    Charg'd the Ladys there in years,
To tell truth if that hideous rore,
    So Thunder-like sent,
    From Audacious Fundament,
Could consist with their Virgin bore;
    With a hum, &c.

Who answering no,
    All disputes fell too,
For now they believ'd it was reason,
    To pass the matter of,
    As a Joke, and in a Laugh,
Since they ne'er could make it High Treason;
    With a hum, &c.
