“Why?—Why?—Besides, Fred really was attached;
’Twas not her fortune—he has enough without;
The time will come she’ll wish that she had snatched
So good an opportunity, no doubt:—
But the old Marchioness some plan had hatched,
As I’ll tell Aurea at to-morrow’s rout:
And after all poor Frederick may do better—
Pray did you see her answer to his letter?”
