The power of pleasing, and the will to please.
Our John was pleas’d—such offers don’t offend,
A sumptuous Table, with a lively Friend.
All this arranged, John thought it right he now
Should on the General[33] wait, and make his Bow;
A Guardsman too, and strictly to his tether,
Adhered to the Old adage, ‘Birds of a Feather,’
John, as a Guardsman soon had his entré,
Greeted, and closeted without delay.
