Alonzo the brave and Fair Imogene

A warrior so bold and a virgin so bright
Conversed as they sat on the green,
They gazed on each other with tender delight;
Alonzo the brave was the name of the knight,
The maid's was the Fair imogene.

Tp Palestine hastened the hero so bold,
His love she lamented him sore:
but scarce had a twelvemonth elapse,when behold,
A Baron all covered with jewels and gold
Arrived at Fair Imogene's door.

His treasur,his presents,his spacious domain,
Soon made her untrue to her vows;
He dazzled her eyes; he bewildered her brain;
He caught her affection,so light and so vain,
An carried her home as his spouse.

Then first with amazement Fair Imogene found
That a stranger was placed beside her side
His air was terrific; he uttered no sound
He spoke not, he moved not,he looked not around,
But earnestly gazed on the bride.
