Of vessels freighted with abundant stores,

Of rooms whose treasures press’d the groaning floors;

And he of clerks and servants could display

A little army on a public day:

Was this a man like needy bard to speak

Of balmy lip, bright eye, or rosy cheek?

The sum appointed for her widow’d state,

Fix’d by her friend, excited no debate;

Then the kind lady gave her hand and heart,

And, never finding, never dealt with art:
