( 7 ) Two long hours there he waited,

Her return at laſt he fretted,

And began to grieve at laft.

For he had not broke his faſt.

Still he ſat like one amazed t

Round a ſpacious roon he gazed,

which was richely beautified,

But alas! he loſt his bride.

There was piping laughing ſneering

All within the courtiers hearing:

But his bride he could not ſee,

Would I were at home thoutht he,

While his heart was melancholy:

Said the Steward briſk and jolly,

Tell me friend, How came you here,

You have ſome deſign I fear,

He replied Dear loving maſter,

You ſhall meet with no diſaſter,

Through my means in any caſe,

Madam brought me to this place,

Then the Steward did retire,

About the matter to enquire,

Whether it was true or no

Ne'er was lover hamper'd ſo,

Now the Lady who had fill'd him,

With the tears, full well beheld him

From a window where ſhe drest,

Delighted with the plealent jeſt,

When ſhe had herſelf attired,

In rich robes to be admired,

Like a moving angel bright

She appeared in his ſight,
