No sooner Constance had his person seen,

And in her breast received the urchin's dart,

Than throbs, and trembling fears o'erwhelmed her heart.

The flame she durst declare no other way,

Than by those sighs, which feelings oft betray.

Till then, nor shame nor aught could her retain;

Now all was changed:—her bashfulness was plain.

As none, howe'er, could think the subtle flame

Would lie concealed with such a haughty dame,

Camillus nothing of the kind supposed.
