He with the brother solely took a place,

That better he the sister's charms might trace;

And under this disguise he fully gained

What he desired, so well his part he feigned:

An able master, or a lover true,

To teach or sigh, whichever was in view,

So thoroughly he could attention get,

Success alike in ev'ry thing he met.

IN little time the boy could construe well

The odes of Horace:—Virgil's fable tell;
