I tell you, ere Felice's corpse was cold,

The Duke, that night, threw wide his palace-doors,

Received the compliments o' the quality

For justice done him,—bowed and smirked his best,

And in return passed round a pretty thing,

A portrait of Felice's sister's self,

Florid old rogue Albano's masterpiece,

As—better than virginity in rags—

Bouncing Europa on the back o' the bull:

They laughed and took their road the safelier home.
