At least a better husband she deserved:

An arrant fool he looked, and quite unnerved.

This Nicia Calfucci (for such his name)

Was fully bent to have a father's fame,

And thought his country honour he could do,

Could he contrive his lineage to pursue.

No holy saint in Paradise was blessed,

But what this husband fervently addressed;

From day to day, so oft he teazed for grace,

They scarcely knew his off'rings where to place.
