And first to flatter, then to govern me;—
He shall not nurse me when my senses sleep,
Nor shall the key of all my secrets keep,
And be so useful that a dread to part
Shall make him master of my easy heart;—
But to be placed where merit may be proved,
And all that now impedes his way removed. 1060
“And now no more on these affairs I dwell; }
What I possess that I alone can tell, }
And to that subject we will bid farewell. }
