How, at five o’clock, just in time for dinner,

The good-looking couple arrived at the inner

Abode of hell, where their journey was o’er,

And they dined off a chop in the Devil’s boudoir;

All this I could tell, if I wasn’t afraid,

That Satan would blush for the pranks I betrayed.

*  *  *  *  *

Years have fled since the fatal day,

When the Baron’s spirit wing’d its way,

Obsequious at Apollyon’s call,
