In lord or squire, or citizen or clown,

To change the bread that's white for bit of brown:

With more experience, you'll with me agree,—

My motto ever is—VARIETY.

WHEN thus the master had himself expressed,

The valet presently was less distressed;

Some arguments, howe'er, at first he used;

For, after all—are fully we excused,

When we our pleasure solely have in view;

Without regarding what's to others due?
