2350'Oh madam! madam!' mad Avaro cried,

'Why do you think she could o'ercome your frock?

I ne'er did yield, yet have been often tried;

My courage hath withstood a greater shock.

Yet sure she would—she would have passed the gates;

The reason why, forsooth, to gather dates.

I am afraid your dukedom-girl does long

Not for the porter, he is out of date;

But for an oily cavalier that 's strong,

May teach her virginship a mother's fate.
