At length, the lady passed resistance by,

And all conceded, e'en without a sigh.

OUR hero felt a thousand times more blessed

Than when he first the beauteous fair caressed;

For when a flame reciprocal is raised,

The bliss redoubles, and by all is praised.

THUS Richard pleasantly employed his time,

Contented lived, concentring joys sublime.

A sample, now, we have given of his pow'rs,

And who would wish for more delightful hours?
