Lived much at ease: not one a wife had got,

Throughout the realm, who was so nice a lot,

Her virtues, temper, and seraphick charms,

Should have secured the husband to her arms;

But he was not to constancy inclined;

The devil's crafty; snares has often twined

Around and round, with ev'ry subtle art,

When love of novelty he would impart.

THE lady had a maid, whose form and size,

Height, easy manners, action, lips, and eyes,
