Peer’d at you from the forest to pursue.

‘’Tis sure that scarcely can I win his grace

To see you here; and still he mischief vows

If ever I should ask to see his face,

Which, coming in the dark, he ne’er allows.

Therefore, if ye can help, of pity show,

Since doubt I must, how I may come to know

What kind of spirit it is that is my spouse.’
