 | The Grecian Story |  |
Till humble Bow, the Maid informed her,
She came to Free; conjoyn'd without demur
(Soft Voice) what more Reviv'd, how well Redeem'd
How noble Lord by th' gentle Prince, tho seem'd
Still Pris'ner there; convey'd at last Back way
To cheat her Eye, gon tow'rds the Court same Day;
Her Rape by ten resolv'd: those Keys did shew
Should free from thence, Enlarge, not finding tho
Thersander's Key (whose Death next Noon conceal'd)
How safe th' escape, that Pass (in brief) reveal'd:
Wish'd Rouze, advance, lest Danger prov'd, surprize;
Shew'd new-bought Gown might serve for their Disguise.
She came to Free; conjoyn'd without demur
