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? }
