That faith and constancy deserved reward!
The baffled Lord retreated from the scene
Of so much gladness, with a world of spleen;
And left the wedded couple, to protest, 210}
That he no fear, that she no love, possess’d; }
That all his vows were scorn’d, and all his hope a jest. }
Then fell the oaks, to let in light of day;
Then rose the mansion that we now survey;
Then all the world flock’d gaily to the scene
Of so much splendour, and its splendid queen.
