 | The Grecian Story |  |
Night being come, and all for Bed retir'd,
That Vandimont, done th' Agent's Task, desir'd
(More knowledge got) inform'd thus far the King;
Knight's Wife she was who did small Portion bring:
Had Married been four Years, yet at that time
Scarce Twenty two; was Wedded in her Prime
Forty himself, but fair Estate orecame;
Hous'd where she was; Dorasta call'd by name:
Her Nurse withal chief Waiter prov'd for Pow'r
Might serve as Baud; found great regard that hour.
