Still means of freedom will some power devise,

And from the baffled ruffian snatch his prize.

To Northern Wales, in some sequester'd spot,

I've followed fair Louisa to her cot;

Where, then a wretched and deserted bride,

The injured fair-one wish'd from man to hide;

Till by her fond repenting Belville found,

By some kind chance—the straying of a hound—

He at her feet craved mercy, nor in vain;

For the relenting dove flew back again.
