At first she thought it jest, then angry grew,

And vowed the plan she never would pursue;

Her life she'd rather forfeit than her name:

Once known, for ever lost would be her fame

Besides the heinous sin and vile offence,

God knew she rather would with all dispense;

Mere complaisance had led her to comply;

Would she admit a wretch with blearing eye,

To incommode, and banish tranquil ease?

Who could conceive her formed a clod to please?
