Should fancy me another, who would sup,
          The error, doubtless, might unpleasant be: 
          To any thing but this I will agree,
          To give you pleasure, Damon, so adieu;
          Then Reynold from the antlered corps withdrew.

          SaidDamon, gentlemen, ’tis pretty clear,
          So wise as Reynold, none of us appear;
          But let’s console ourselves;—­’tis very plain,
          The same are others:—­to repine were vain.

          Atlength, such numbers on their rolls they bore;
          Calista liberty obtained once more,
          As promised formerly, and then her charms
          Again were taken to her spouse’s arms.

          LetReynold’s conduct, husbands, be your line;
          Who Damon’s follows surely will repine. 
          Perhaps the first should have been made the chief;
          Though, doubtless, that is matter of belief. 
          No mortal can from danger feel secure;
          To be exempt from spilling, who is sure? 
          Nor Roland, Reynold, nor famed Charlemain,
          But what had acted wrong to risk the stain.

ETEXT EDITOR’S BOOKMARKS: 

Fools or brutes, With whose ideas reason never suits He, who laughs, is always well received When mourning ’s nothing more than change of dress
