This noble beggar thus obtain'd a sight
Of her who erstwhile was his heart's delight,
He viewed her in her nuptial garments dress'd,
And did of her a glass of wine request,
Which she denied—who little did suppose
The ragged stranger was her wealthy spouse;
Then straight into the dining-room he went,
And down he sat among the guests content.
Says he, "You'll grant me my request I know;
A glass of wine I'll have before I go."
