With this could Damon take Erastus' frame;

His gait, his look, his carriage, air and voice

Thus changed, he easily could mark her choice,

Each step observe:—enough, he asked no more,

Erastus' shape the husband quickly bore;

His easy manner, and appearance caught:

With captivating smiles his wife he sought.

And thus addressed the fair with ev'ry grace:—

How blithe that look! enchanting is your face;

Your beauty's always great, I needs must say,
