Recipe for Love (unknown author)
The swain, to gain his fair one’s love
Should be discreet and wise;
Commend her when she mends her glove,
And praise her teeth and eyes.
Seen in New-Hampshire Spy, published as Osborne’s New-Hampshire Spy; on 7 January 1792; Volume: XI; Issue: XXII; Page: 86; Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Hmmm… what do you think your true love would think (or how would she/he reply) if you said she had good teeth? (haha)
