 | The Grecian Story |  |
The King proceeds; You here conceal'd remain,
Time, Place doth serve; choice Room shall entertain.
Five Hours in daintiest Bed, compos'd for Love;
Your Spouse far off; that man does faithful prove,
(Whose Oath conjoyn'd) should th' other blab, betray
Her great Reward's to Ruin turn'd next day.
Nurse kneeling strait, swore secret Oath, whatere
Her Lady and his Highness Acted there.
