And from the neighb'ring closet came, 'twas clear:

My dear Curtade, my only hope below,

In vain I love;—you colder, colder grow;

While round no fair can boast so fine a face,

And numbers wish they might supply thy place,

Whilst thou with some gay page prefer'st a bet,

Or game of dice with some low, vulgar set,

To meeting me alone; and when just now

To thee I sent, with rage thou knit'st thy brow,

And Dorimene, with ev'ry curse abus'd
