The yielding pair to her petitions gave

An humble friend to be a civil slave,

Who for a poor support herself resign’d

To the base toil of a dependant mind:

By nature cold, our Heiress stoop’d to art,

To gain the credit of a tender heart.

Hence at her door must suppliant paupers stand,

To bless the bounty of her beauteous hand:

And now, her education all complete,

She talk’d of virtuous love and union sweet;
