To act as I desire: you'll find it best:—

A wedding 's like amours while unconfessed;

One THEN both husband and gallant appears,

And ev'ry wily act the bosom cheers.

Till we, continued he, a priest can find,

Are you, to trust my promises inclined?

You safely may; he'll to his word adhere:

His heart is honest, and his tongue sincere.

TO this fair Constance answered not a word,

Which showed, with him, her sentiments concurred.
