Or foul one, if a ducat sweeten word,—

And straight authority will back demand,

Give you the pick o' the post-house!—how should he,

Then, resident at Rome for thirty years,

Guido, instruct a stranger! And himself

Forgets just this poor paper scrap, wherewith

Armed, every door he knocks at opens wide

To save him: horsed and manned, with such advance

O' the hunt behind, why, 't were the easy task

Of hours told on the fingers of one hand,
