 | The Grecian Story |  |
Thus Nature's pay'd her Slumbring due Repast,
Eight hours arise; all rested well to th' last
The Lords being Rouz'd, Both, streit below descended,
Clermanthe rais'd, whose Sleep then newly ended.
Found primely Chear'd, which then their Case requir'd;
Strong appetite to th' Food by her desir'd:
Orsamne' self gaye ear with Joyful Passion
To th' Gladsom Change made known by her Relation.
Diner was brought, she rising from the Bed
Since not uncloath'd; 'twas neatly ordered.
