With noble Profusion gives all he can give,
And scorns to forsake them, so long as they live;
In mystery deep, a great Metaphysician;
In history known, and a rare Politician;
A merry Companion, yet sage in due Places, 230
He knows good Behaviour and studies the Graces;
Can the Springs of good Humour and Harmony feel—
Not Stanhope himself could be half so genteel;
Is the last to disturb them where people are gay,
And the first to drive stupid Reflection away.
