HER father, soon returning, heard her fate,
Whilst he anticipates his child's embrace,
And empty hopes his joyful heart elate;
O'erwhelm'd at once he's blasted with disgrace:
No deeper pang his bosom can endure;
The laurels fade on his victorious brow;
From his uplifted arms, in fraud secure,
The villain fled, and shunn'd th' impending blow.
