THE ARGUMENT

OF THE THIRD CANTO. j

The scattered rout return and rally.

Surround the place ; the Knight does sally 1

And is made pris'' ner : Then they seize i|

Th* enchanted fort by storm; release Crowdero ^ and put the Squire in^ s place; J should have first said Htjdibras.

jts-Y me ! "what perils do environ The man that meddles with cold iron !

What plaguy mischiefs and mishaps Do dog him still with after-claps !

For though Dame Fortune seem to smile And leer upon him for a while , She'll after shew him , in the nick Of all his glories, a dog-trick.

This any man may sing or say ,
