- - - - Nor think I can foretel
Those Secrets that the Stars do not reveal :
One asks how soon Panthea may be won,
And longs to feel the Marriage Fetters on :
Others convinc'd by melancholy Proof,
Inquire when courteous Fates will strike 'em off :
Some by what Means they may redress the Wrong,
When Fathers the Possession keep too long :
And some would know the Issue of their Cause,
And whether Gold can sodder [or solder?] up its Flaws.
