Fate has determin'd, and the joyful Croud,
With dreadful Shouts, confirm that Choice aloud.

Th' Assembly rises, with applauding Noise
They slide away, and murmur out their Joys,
Leaving the Prelate with Fatigue oppress'd,
'Till a full Supper calm'd his moody Breast,
And laid his Anger, and his Limbs, to Rest.
