But pass’d the pleasant hours at gay Quadrille:

Lame in her side, we plac’d her in her seat,

Her hands were free, she cared not for her feet;

As the game ended, came the glass around

(So was the loser cheer’d, the winner crown’d).

Mistress of secrets, both the young and old

In her confided - not a tale she told;

Love never made impression on her mind,

She held him weak, and all his captives blind;

She suffer’d no man her free soul to vex,
