Of good or bad; though she coud both amend,

And merit praise for work by her begun.

But she to better thought her heart had shut,

And proved she had a spite beyond compare:

Nor coud the keenest taunts her anger glut,

Which she when sour’d was never wont to spare:

And now she mock’d at Psyche’s shame and grief,

As only she might do, and to her chief

Along the courtyard dragg’d her by the hair.
