TO PHILOTINUS, by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON
First Line: Philotinus! If you'd approve / yourself a faithful lover Last Line: Nor own, a salic law.
Philotinus! if you'd approve Yourself a faithful lover, -- You must no more my anger move, But in the mildest terms of love Your passion still discover.
Though born to rule, you must submit To my command with awe; Nor think your sex can you acquit, For Cupid's empire won't admit Nor own, a Salic Law.
