These he instructs, and guides them as he can,
And vends each night the manufactured man.
Long as our custom lasts, they gladly stay,

Then strike their tents, like Tartars! and away!
The place grows bare where they too long remain,
But grass will rise ere they return again.
Children of Thespis, welcome! knights and queens!
Counts! barons! beauties! when before your scenes,
And mighty monarchs thund'ring from your throne;
