  1. And when the prize will scarce reward the pain.
  2. If at the play I in fop-corner sit,
  3. And with a squinting eye gloat o'er the pit,
  4. Or view the boxes, you begin to fear,

  7. A private assignation in her eye;
  8. A silent soft discourse in ev'ry grace,
  9. And tongues in all the features of her face.
