He kept from all disgraceful deeds aloof,
Severely tried, and found temptation-proof: 60
This was by most unquestioned, and the few
Who made inquiry said report was true.
His very choice of our neglected place
Endear’d him to us—’twas an act of grace;
And soon to Jane, our unobtrusive maid,
In still respect was his attention paid;
Each in the other found what both approved,
Good sense and quiet manners: these they loved.
