And gave the ring, which much delight diffus'd;

Together with a handsome sum of gold,

Which soon a husband in her train enroll'd,

Who, for a maid, the pretty fair-one took;

And then our heroes wand'ring pranks forsook,

With laurels cover'd, which in future times,

Will make them famous through the Western climes;

More glorious since, they only cost, we find,

Those sweet ATTENTIONS pleasing to the MIND.

So many conquests proud of having made,
