This briefly told, how fair
Clermanthe's
Heart
Rejoyced prov'd! since like Triumphant part
Crown'd all the rest: The Duke her father free'd
From that false Whore, who by th' one hand did Bleed;
Next, sav'd from Death; grown (last) so Tender, kind
As once He was, e're that Transported Mind:
Whose Life she priz'd, through Noble-temper'd Brest,
Beyond th' Estate; large joy to Nurse exprest.
Orsamnes too, Thersander Partners were,
Since Prime the News, with Thanks imbrac'd her there.
