“Then, in the country, is’t not true? + 

And far removed from rumour vain; + 

I did not please you. Why pursue + 

To move in fashionable life, + 

That I am rich, a prince’s wife?⁠— + 

Is petted by the Emperor?⁠— + 

A notoriety proclaimed, + 

And in society might shed + 

A bastard fame prohibited? + 
