Prithee gentle Lady list

Prithee gentle Lady list
To a small Ventriloquist
I whose pretty voice you hear
From this paper speaking clear
Have a mother, once a Statue!
I thus boldly looking at you
Do the name of Paphus bear
Fam’d Pygmalion’s son and heir
By that wondrous marble wife
That from Venus took her life
Cupid’s nephew then am I
Nor unskilled his darts to ply
But from him I crav’d no warrant
Coming thus to seek my parent
Not equipp’d with bow and quiver
Her by menace to deliver
But resolv’d with filial care
Her captivity to share
Hence while on your Toilet she
Is doom’d a Pincushion to be
By her side I’ll take my place
As a humble Needlecase
Furnish’d too with dainty thread
For a Sempstress thorough bred
Then let both be kindly treated
Till the Term for which she’s fated
Durance to sustain be over
So will I ensure a Lover
Lady! to your heart’s content
But on harshness are you bent?
Bitterly shall you repent
When to Cyprus back I go
And take up my Uncle’s bow.
