1772. BRIDGES, A Burlesque Translation of Homer, 132.
She guides his WEAPON where she lists, | |
Knowing a touch of her soft hand | |
will make him stand. | |
Ibid., 178. | |
If you meet the whoring Goddess, | |
Drive your stiff WEAPON through her boddice; | |
But take great care the gypsys eyes | |
Dont guide to where her mouse-trap lies. | |
Ibid. | |
When she appears, dont gasping stand, | |
But use the WEAPON in your hand; | |
If you exhibit any other, | |
Dont think that I my rage will smother. |
