And just beneath the watch's trinkets shone—
A splendid watch, that pointed out the time,
To fly from business and make free with crime.
The crimson waistcoat and the silken hose
Rank'd the lean man among the Borough beaux;
His raven hair he cropp'd with fierce disdain,
And light elastic locks encased his brain:
80
More pliant pupil who could hope to find,
So deck'd in person and so changed in mind?
