For these occasions forth his knowledge sprung,
As mustard quickens on a bed of dung:
All was prepared, and guests allow’d the praise
For what they saw he could so quickly raise.
Such this new friend; and when the year came round,
The same impressive, reasoning sage was found:
Then, too, was seen the pleasant mansion graced
With a fair damsel - his no vulgar taste;
The neat Rebecca - sly, observant, still,
Watching his eye, and waiting on his will;
