At last the Queen and Father did agree,
The Prince and Princess straight should married be;
Ne're made a question, for they doubted not
But Youth and Beauty had each other shot
With Amorous Loves. But when the Prince made known,
How that his heart was now none of his own;
His Father seem'd, with trouble, discontent:
But the enraged Queen, with malice bent,
Did strive all ways she could for to disgrace
The sweet young Lady, oft disprais'd her Face,
Her Person, Dress, Behaviour, and her Wit;
And for to match with such a Prince, not fit.
