Which Myrrhina now seeing on my finger,

Immediately acknowledg’d, and inquir’d

How I came by it. I told all this story:

Whence ’twas discover’d that Philumena

Was she who had been ravish’d, and the child

Conceiv’d from that encounter.—That I’ve been

The instrument of all these joys I’m glad,

Though other courtesans would not be so;

Nor is it for our profit and advantage

That lovers should be happy in their marriage.
