| Text on print | O Vanity of Youthfull Blood, / So by Misuse to poison Good! / Woman, form'd for Social Love, / Fairest Gift of Powers above! / Source of every Household Blessing, / All Charms in Innocence possessing! / But turn’d to Vice, all Plagues above, / Foe to thy Being, Foe to Love! / Guest Divine to outward Viewing, / Abler Minister of Ruin! / and Thou, no less of Gift Divine / Sweet Poison of Misused Wine! / With Freedom led to every Part, / And secret Chamber of ye Heart, / Dost Thou thy friendly Host betray, / And Shew thy riotous Gang ye Way, / To enter in with covert Treason, / O’erthrow the drowsy Guard of Reason, / To ransack the abandon’d Place; / And revel there with wild Excess? / Invented, Painted, Engrav’d & Publish’d by Wm. Hogarth June ye. 25. 1735. According to Act of Parliment. Plate 3. |
