Here four neat volumes Chesterfield were named,

For manners much and easy morals famed;

With chaste Memoirs of females, to be read

When deeper studies had confused the head.

Such his resources, treasures where he sought

For daily knowledge till his mind was fraught:

Then, when his friends were present, for their use

He would the riches he had stored produce;

He found his lamp burn clearer when each day

He drew for all he purposed to display;
