  1. Chance on the seal did my misfortune paint,
  2. And show'd my doom by the vermilion teint.
  3. Curse on the instruments of my disgrace !
  4. May you lie rotting in some filthy place;
  5. By carts run o'er may you to bits be torn,
  6. And your mishap revenge Corinna's scorn !
  7. The man that first to smooth your surface toil'd,
  8. The wooden work with hands impure defil'd;
