The rage of lawyers forced to drop their prey—
And once again to England made her way.
She found her Husband with his gout removed,
And a young nurse, most skilful and approved;
Whom—for he yet was weak—he urged to stay, 100
And nurse him while his consort was away:—
“She was so handy, so discreet, so nice,
As kind as comfort, though as cold as ice!
Else,” he assured his lady, “in no case,
So young a creature should have fill’d the place.”
