But why this Love? for Francis was in Truth,

His Father witness’d, [an] expensive Youth;

And all he spent, as all the Green could tell,

Save short Excursions, all was at the Bell.

But, when the Landlord would at Night repair

To the fair Wife and to the favourite Chair,

He found the Chair wherein he sang and drank

Still near[er] plac’d, and fill’d by Mr Frank; 180

And from such Trifle—strange as it appears—

Harry was harried by an Husband’s fears.
