His lady promised ev'ry thing required:—

Deaf, blind, and cruel,—whosoe'er admired;

And not a present would her hand receive

At his return, he fully might believe,

She would be found the same as when he went,

Without gallant, or aught to discontent.

HER husband gone, she presently retired

Where Anselm had so earnestly desired;

The lovers came, but they were soon dismissed,

And told, from visits they must all desist;
