Dorasta, guiltless Heart, next, confident
'Twas Spleen against them both, with calmness went;
Whist Nurse attends. Lock'd fast his Garden door,
Midst gloomy Shades she was informed more;
At her own House surprize was meant that Day,
But Knight's withdrawn; so, walking down this way,
View'd from her Postern-gate (observ'd howere
The like last Week) he seiz'd her veiled there.
For Traitors Charge, that might from Envy grow,
Or weak conjectures ground, soon answer'd so.
