Some gay dare-devil cloak-and-rapier spark

Capable of adventure,—helped by whom

She, some fine eve when lutes were in the air.

Having put poison in the posset-cup,

Laid hands on money, jewels and the like,

And, to conceal the thing with more effect,

By way of parting benediction too,

Fired the house,—one would finish famously

I' the tumult, slip out, scurry off and away

And turn up merrily at home once more.
