DAMIS / Father, we've news to welcome your arrival, / That's altogether novel, and surprising. / You are well paid for your caressing care, / And this fine gentleman rewards your love / Most handsomely, with zeal that seeks no less / Than your dishonour, as has now been proven. / I've just surprised him making to your wife / The shameful offer of a guilty love. / She, somewhat over gentle and discreet, / Insisted that the thing should be concealed; / But I will not condone such shamelessness, / Nor so far wrong you as to keep it secret.
