The Knight departs, Dimagoras now would fain
Follow, but that the Goaler does restrain,
And keep him back; when he begun to know
He could not, he the more desires to go;
Oh that I had this cursed villain here,
Says he, that I might make my worth appear
In his disaster! Does he think his Arm
Is able to inflict the least of harm
Upon my body, no, I'd make him feel
The full reward of my chastising steel;
Oh how I'd carbonado every part
Of his imperious, his perfidious heart;
I'de make the wretch revoke his former vows,
Or I would hack his body into mouths
To plead for pity; Oh my Spirits boyl
T' obtain the tryumph of so sweet a spoil:
Audatious wretch, that told me to my face
That he would bring us both to quick disgrace,
If we encounter'd him, yet I dare say,
The fool was glad we let him go away;
And so were you, my friend, your looks betray'd
The troubles of your heart, you were afraid:
Follow, but that the Goaler does restrain,
And keep him back; when he begun to know
He could not, he the more desires to go;
Oh that I had this cursed villain here,
Says he, that I might make my worth appear
In his disaster! Does he think his Arm
Is able to inflict the least of harm
