That bear no token of that wild expense

Such as to ruin leads!—I may mistake,

Yet may, perchance, a useful friendship make.

He looks as one whom I should not offend,

Address’d as him whom I would make a friend.

Men with respect attend him.—He proceeds

To yonder public room—why, then he reads!

Suppose me right—a mighty change is wrought;

But Time ere now has care and caution taught. 140

May I address him? And yet, why afraid? }
