It happen’d, to confirm his care—

Stephen was dark,—and Kate was fair!

Nay more that “home his bride would bring

“A little, alien, prattling thing

“In just six moons!” Poor Lubin hears

All that confirms his jealous fears;

Perplex’d and frantic, what to do

The cheated Lover scarcely knew.

He flies to Kate, and straight he tells

The wonder that in magic dwells!
