Nurse was mean while by Vandimont invited
To th' other Banquet there, her Tast delighted.
(Himself for Slumber's laid) like Queen she sat
On Velvet Chair; her belly cram'd with that.
Then stuff'd large Hankercheif, till drowsie grown,
Clasping her Arms. (like kind Companion shewn
To Vandimont) sleep yauning way devours
In goodly State, whole comfortable Hours.
As thought by Dreams t'enjoy her Ladys pleasure,
When waking view'd choice Pictures round at leisure;
Talk'd (last) with Vandimont; till summon'd then,
'Tween Seven and Eight, for th' Handmaids Task agen.
