And he his nymph in secret service sought.

Some days of absence—not with full consent, }

But with slow leave—were to entreaty lent; }

And forth the Lover rode, uncertain what he meant. }

When a pert damsel told him, “he was wrong;

Their house she did not just precisely know,

But he would find it somewhere in the Row;

The Rayners now were come a little down,

Nor more the topmost people in the town.” 280
