Her taste at once was changed from books to balls;

Around Calista (such was named our fair)

A host of lovers showed attentive care;

Cits, courtiers, officers, the beau, the sage,

Adventurers of ev'ry rank and age.

FROM these Calista presently made choice,

Of one for whom her father gave his voice;

A handsome lad, and thought good humoured too

Few otherwise appear when first they woo.

Her fortune ample was; the dow'r the same;
