What time, Ardina, bed confined too
Through sickness (nor great hast) defer'd to shew
Her dearest Lady ought (whom promise ty'd
Ne're to take Vestall Vow, till specify'd,
First known to her) now were th' whole Fun'rals o're:
Though this for Cordiall joyn'd, Arplastus wore
Good Father's parting heart; and, dying Kind
(His lands turn'd o're in trust) did strongly'st bind
Her Uncle Anselvin, late from Seas return'd
(Though long believ'd for dead, deploted, mourn'd)
To give up all upon his Daughters claim,
Which Nobly'st offer'd, ere Ardina came.
