The secret of his recent change of dress

Was promised to be kept: and that unknown,

E'en cuckoldom again might there have flown.

OUR couple mutual compensation made,

Then bade adieu to hill, and dale, and glade.

SOME critick asks the handsome palace' fate;

I answer:—that, my friend, I shan't relate;

It disappeared, no matter how nor when.

Why put such questions?—strict is not my pen.

The little dog, pray what of that became?
