ON A GENTLEMAN WHOSE MISTRESS HAD AN ILL BREATH by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER

First Line: LOVERS 'TIS SAID ARE BLIND
Last Line: NOR EGYPT-LIKE, ADORE A NAUSEOUS LEEK.
Subject(s): HALITOSIS; LOVE; SMELLS; ODORS; AROMAS; FRAGRANCES;
LOVERS 'tis said are blind—but @3Thirsis@1 shews,
These Sighers lose not Eyes alone, but Nose;
Go, doting Fool—a fragrant Favourite seek,
Nor @3Egypt@1-like, adore a nauseous Leek.
