Trade we may term it, for he duly buys

Arms out of use and undirected eyes:

These he instructs, and guides them as he can,

And vends each night the manufactured man:

Long as our custom lasts they gladly stay,

Then strike their tents, like Tartars! and away!

The place grows bare where they too long remain,

But grass will rise ere they return again.

Children of Thespes, welcome; knights and queens!

Counts! barons! beauties! when before your scenes,
