 2     8|       there,~Which to Melissa, prompt her time to seize,~To loose
 3    10|   Heaps promises and vows, aye prompt to swear,~Which afterwards
 4    10|     gold,~Assails it not where prompt with poisonous bite~To hiss
 5    13|      the fell tyrant Love, aye prompt to range,~And faithless
 6    18|       veered~Her ready tiller, prompt his course to scan;~And
 7    18|        of wind and flood,~Were prompt to manifest their vaunted
 8    19|      or other light,~Behold me prompt thy wishes to fulfil;~Where
