Love’s Auction

Could pretty Jane be put to sale,
  I'd have no auctioneer in vogue;
  Not Christie should her charms detail,
  But Truth should dress the catalogue.
  Within the leaves no falsehood slid;
  No grace hitch'd in which Jane hath not.
  Then all the world would come and bid;
  But only Love should buy the lot.
