    — To a Lady Majoress. WHen I behold your head and limbs all shaking Much like a Custard newly come from baking, Your Velvet hood on tipto rais’d upright As if your Hinch boy challenge would to fight. Your pretty mouth, like Oyster gaping wide, As if it did expect ere long the tyde; Your Chin like Aple, both so red and shrivel’d, So scalded by a hot rhume hourly drivel’d.
  3. A daughter or female friend of a male mayor chosen by him to hold the title mayoress.
