DANISH ANECDOTE.
[Verse included in story of earlier Danish Queen's
imprisonment, in 1652]
At Nybourg we arrive by night,
Where in a dungeon, from the light
Secluded, lies that guilty fair,
That royal harlot, who could dare
Dire poisons for her Lord to brew;
For such a crime sure death was due.*
. . . [6 lines follow]
*See this whole poem translated in Mr. Duncombe's Horace, 2d
edit. vol. iii, p. 53,
and also in the Gent.'s Mag. for October and November last.
