You'll find howe'er, our tale is not the same.

[Original]

I MEAN to state how once an easy fair,

Who oft amused the youth devoid of care,

A tender flame within her heart retained,

Though haughty, singular, and unrestrained.

Not easy 'twas her favours to procure;

Rome was the place where dwelled this belle impure;

The mitre and the cross with her were naught;
