PART III.

THIRD CANTO.

The Argument.

The Knight and Squire's prodigious flight
To quit th' enchanted bow'r by night.
He plods to turn his amorous fuit,
T'a plea in law, and profecute:
Repairs to counsel, to advise
'Bout managing the enterprise;
But first refolves to try by letter,
And one more fair address, to get her.

HUDI BRAS.

CANTO III.

WHO would believe what strange bugbears
Mankind creates itself, of fears,

That spring, like fern, that infect weed,
Equivocally, without feed,

And have no poffible foundation,
But merely in th' imagination?
