When you assisted me to get away;

For recompense, my friend, without delay,

I'll you procure the kindness of the fair,

Who makes you love and drives you to despair:

We'll go and see her:—be assured from me,

Before two days are passed, as I foresee,

You'll gain, by presents, Argia and the rest,

Who round her watch, and are the suitor's pest.

Grudge no expense, be gen'rous, and be bold,

Your handfuls scatter, lavish be of gold.
