And once within his power, you know,

He never lets a prisoner go!

You saucy witch! you need not pout,

And vow you’ll surely raise a route,

Unless within one minute more,

I summon Love to ope the door!

Now plead not with that coaxing smile,

Just to be free a little while;

You waste your cunning, for in vain

You strive to break Love’s silken chain.
