COLUTTA, (such her name,) though much admired;

And many in the place her hand desired,

Rejected some, and others would not take,

And this most clearly for Pinucio's sake.

Long conversations she could rarely get,

And various obstacles the lovers met;

No interviews where they might be at ease,

But ev'ry thing conspired to fret and teaze.

O parents, husbands! be advised by me;

Constraint with wives or children won't agree;
