But bravely tho, and still he was prevented:

But when at the Intreaties of my Mother,

The King confin’d my Father,

Alonzo then study’d a new Revenge;

And thinking that my Father’s Life depended

Upon a Son he had, scarce a Year old,

He did design to steal him; and one Evening,

When with the Nurse and Maid he took the Air,

This desperate Lover seiz’d the smiling Prize,

Which never since was heard of.
