So they were married, and the lasses vow’d
That Patty’s luck would make an angel proud: 350
“Not but that time would come when she must prove
That men are men, no matter how they love!”—
And she has prov’d it; for she finds her man
As kind and true as when their loves began.
James is unhappy; not that he is poor,
But, having much, because he has no more;
Because a rival’s pleasure gives him pain;
Because his vices work’d their way in vain;
