 | The Grecian Story |  |
The Lord's Enrag'd; each younger Lover found
(Where Spirit bred) Hot, Credulous compound:
Kept lately his Whore, indeed; last month Diseas'd
(Brisoldan so heard from Comrades, well pleas'd
Since serv'd his Turn) could Drink Carousing part;
Yet this foul, strange Affront did Stab to th' Heart;
Some things tho True: conjoyn'd their former Jar
Like Fester'd Wound, more Gal'd withal by far:
Those Terms on that: base Rival-threats, at last,
If at the Duke's should meet; no Point orepass'd:
Two Others there. Brisoldan shew'd that while
Of Honest Stamp, Parts, Person, Garb Gentile.
