 | The Grecian Story |  |
By five next day, that Merchant their comrade
(Who still young Factor left) they entrance made
Upon their Course as did the rising Sun;
Ere night o're-pass'd th Arcadian Bounds, that done,
Reach'd few Miles off good, noble Friend, lodg'd there:
Third Morn beheld, they both Espoused were.
More Formal way, with mutual Joy, Content:
Might either shew their Sexes Ornament.
After some days repose they did proceed,
Till reach'd his Gallant House, for Rest decreed.
(By friend resigned strait) brave Country-seat:
In Corinth too large Winter-house, compleat.
Her Mother in short time sold all at home,
Vendormes and Mardiva's Guest become,
Whose Virtue found reward, much magnifi'd;
Spent there her days, with Comfort liv'd and dy'd.
