Ador'd a youth, contemporaries paint,

Well made and handsome, but with beardless chin,

Which led the pair a project to begin;

For yet no opportunity they'd found,

T' enjoy their wishes, save by stealth around;

Most ardently she sought to be at ease,

And 'twas agreed the lucky thought to seize

That like a chambermaid he should be dress'd,

And then proceed to execute the jest,

Attend upon the wily, wedded pair,
