FROM
A Nun to a Cavalier.

_Nil dulcius est istoc amare aut amari, præter hoc ipsum amare & amari._
The Second Edition.
_London_, Printed for W. MEARS, at the _Lamb_ without _Temple-bar_.
1713.
One vol. in 16mo.
First comes the Preface, then a Table of Contents, and the title-page
to the Letters, which runs,
Five | Love-Letters | From a | Nun | to | A Cavalier | Done into Verse
| London | Printed in the Year 1713. |
The Letters take up pp. 3-43, after which is another title-page to the
Miscellaneous Poems, then the Poems themselves follow, occupying pp.
47-129.
The frontispiece to the volume shows the Nun seated at a table in
the act of writing; upon the table is a lighted candle, rosary and
ink-pot, while the portrait of her lover hangs over some book-shelves.
The engraving is unsigned, and seems to be different from any of those
hitherto recorded.
