His Song enchanting, and his manners free;
A dangerous youth in Village Wakes was he!
To all that Nature gave in form or face
He added all that Heroes gain of Grace— 10
Not all that Grace for Stanhope’s self had done,
But what suffic’d to raise the Miller’s Son;
To make him first, where many a Youth was seen,
Th’ accomplish’d Chesterfield of Stanton Green.
The good old Father blest his lucky Lot
And all his Darling’s early Sins forgot;
