Taste and refinement give the rosy hours 325

A winged speed in these delightful bowers!

Here gentle converse in soft witchery blends;

Here rank with graceful suavity descends;

Nor, with the jealousy of meanness, deems

Its splendour lessened by the smile it beams! 330

With true nobility of mind, unknown

To pride, not firmly seated on its throne,

With its warm smile the less distinguished cheers,

Exacting, claiming naught, the more endears;
