 | The Grecian Story |  |
The Brides-groom then, to th' Height rejoyced, came,
His Duty pay'd; Clermanthe too the same,
Own'd for dear Mother in Law; whom strait entwin'd
Clarenza there, high Birth, as Noble Mind
Informed of; still Beauty choice beheld
That Youthful Pair withdrawn, scarce parallel'd.
All Wept at last; till She more solemn fashion
(Return'd to Life that Realm) congratulation
From Greatest Ones receiv'd: Some look'd as tho
Strange Vision saw, no Masque, since ended so.
