Theresa, like a demon quite displeased,

Endeavoured to recover what she'd lost:—

Again to take her seat, but she was crossed.

The sister in possession ne'er inclined

To cede a post so pleasant to her mind;

Theresa raised her hand to give a stroke;

And what of that?—if any thing provoke

When thus engaged, unheeded it remains

Small ills are soon forgot where pleasure reigns.
