The husband of the trick was ne'er aware,

So much the mistress had her servant's air;

But if he had, what then? no harm of course;

She might have lectured him with double force.

NEXT day but one, gay Clidamant, whose joy

Appeared so great, 'twas free from all alloy,

By hazard met a friend, to whom he told

(Most indiscreetly) what to him was sold;

How Cupid favoured what he most required,

And freely granted all he had desired.
