 | The Grecian Story |  |
Five Months dissolv'd, to th' Garden, summer-bower
Gondace walk'd, where known (withdrawn that Hour)
Clermanthe was; and after Grave salute,
To which more solemn Gloomy Smile did sute;
Set down by Her, with Crafty Brain as bold,
She thus began. Madam, I must unfold
My hopeful Son's Misfortune, Change, whatere,
Who may like th' early Blasted Bud appear.
