John Simon after Charles-Antoine Coypel
The Town Coquet
With well dissembled innocence she charms
Th' inamour'd swain, to her delusive arms:
Alluring smiles! Vons to be ever true,
And feigns a passion she's a stranger too;
Her subtle arts, his credulous heart deceives
Nor sees the falsehood which her hand receives.
A mezzotint droll engraved by John Simon after Coypel and published by Thomas Kitchen on Holborn Hill, London circa 1730. |
