When I at Paris was, replied our wight,

There passed a clever man, a curious sight,

His company with anxious care I sought,

And was at length a hundred secrets taught;

'Mong others how, at will, to get an heir:—

A certain thing, he often would declare;

The great Mogul had tried it on his queen,

just two years since, the heir might then be seen;

And many other princesses of fame,

Had added by it to their husband's name.
