No fortress had he ever found the same;
Yet still to conquer he was quite resolved,
And oft the manner in his mind revolved.
This plan at length he thought would best succeed,
To execute it doubtless he had need
Of ev'ry wily art he could devise,
Surrounded as he was by eagle-eyes.
I THINK the reader I've already told,
Our husband loved rich presents to behold;
Though none he made, yet all he would receive;
