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;
