“Richard, there dwells within a mile a pair 30
Of good examples—I will guide you there:
Such man is William Bailey—but his spouse
Is virtue’s self since she had made her vows.
I speak of ancient stories, long worn out,
That honest William would not talk about;
But he will sometimes check her starting tear,
And call her self-correction too severe.
“In their own inn the gentle pair are placed,
Where you behold the marks of William’s taste.
