94 A SEQUEL To LV Il. A scuffle next eusued ;—I cannot say Who had the best of it: all I can state Is that our hero got at length away, Deploring Adeline’s unhappy fate— Uncertain whether to go home, or stay To save her from a wrathful husband’s hate— And cursing those most inauspicious stars Which ever shone upon his amorous wars. LVIITI. Lord Henry, in the Duchess’s affair, Had been the very first to recommend The Duke his feelings and his wife’s to spare, Rather than suffer scandal’s breath to send The matter forth, and buzz it everywhere :— Then he had spoken as a faithful friend ; But now he acted as a husband who Would see no loop-hole which he might creep through. LIX, Stern in his duty when it bore relation Unto himself—implacably severe— Admitting nothing as a palliation— | Unmoved by prayer—reckless of sigh and tear— Boldly did he proclaim the degradation Of her who once unto his soul was dear ; And from his house the fallen lady went To the maternal roof in banishment.
