The evening passed in jollity and jest;

For few to holy converse seemed inclined,

And none for Methodists appeared designed:

Not one, but Constance, deaf to wit was found,

And, on her, raillery went briskly round.

THE supper o'er the company withdrew,

But Constance suddenly was lost to view;

Beside a certain bed she took her seat,

Where no one ever dreamed she would retreat,

And all supposed, that ill, or spirits weak,
