Of much affection and some foolishness,)

Monsieur Léonce Miranda, meant to lean

By nature, needs must shift the leaning-place

To his love's bosom from his brother's neck,

Master o' the mint, and keeper of the keys

Of chests chokefull with gold and silver changed

By Art to forms where wealth forgot itself,

And caskets where reposed each pullet-egg
