Their Chief alone with fansy'd Terror struck,
And scar'd by visionary Forms awoke;
At the redoubled Clangor of his Cries
Each Servant quits his Down, and trembling flies.
First Faithful Girot, with undaunted Speed,
Appear'd before the Sweating Chanter's Bed:
Girot his shaking Master's Sense Restor'd;
The worthiest Servant of so good a Lord!
Who, pleas'd Domestic Merit to prefer,
The Choire's proud Gate committed to his Care;
Abroad, a stiff-neck'd haughty Virger, He;
At Home, a supple Slave in Livery.

My Lord, said he, what Trouble heaves your Breast?
What Melancholy breaks your grateful Rest?
