The Second EPIGRAM. (On BILLINDA) by Anne Killigrew

 WAnton Bellinda loudly does complain, 
I've chang'd my Love of late into disdain: 

Calls me unconstant, cause I now adore
The chast Marcella, that lov'd her before. 
 Sin or Dishonour, me as well may blame, 
 That I repent, or do avoid a shame.
