IMPUTATION.
Was it manly, when widow'd,
to spy at her actions;
"To listen to eaves-droppers,
whisp'ring detractions;
And, like an old Watchman,
with faults to conceal,
Get up a false Charge,
as a proof of his zeal?
If desertion was base, Oh base be his name,
Who, having deserted, would bring her to shame!
