“So, W******** and his wife have parted,”
“Yes, both the lovers broken-hearted.”
“Fi donc, my Lord—affairs of state,”
“Ah, qu'oui, the labours of debate,
When love had given the reins to reason.”
“A mere arrangement for the season:
Her Father Jesuit, in a panic,
Thought the dear M*rq*s puritanic;
Felt certain controversial qualms,
Stirr'd by his style of singing psalms;
And, full of faith in salt and water,
Whisk'd over seas his failing daughter.”
