 | The Grecian Story |  |
The Prince could scarce those Comforts rightly enjoy,
So strange appear'd, till Both their Tongues employ
For th' manner how (short needful Grounds alone)
They Death escap'd; least wrong to th' Bridegroom shewn;
CLARENZA's Part soon heard, FONTANA's tho
Thought best for Private Hour, reserved so.
Of Both e're long more largely inform we shall,
Since various Webs, more Threads comprize withall.
