The grief assumed compell’d her to be kind!

For he would proof of plighted kindness crave,

That she resented first, and then forgave;

And to his grief and penance yielded more

Than his presumption had required before.

Ah! fly temptation, youth; refrain! refrain!

Each yielding maid and each presuming swain!

Lo! now with red rent cloak and bonnet black,

And torn green gown loose hanging at her back,

One who an infant in her arms sustains,
