CXVIII

"I like the prospect—their astonishment,

Confusion: wounded vanity, no doubt,

Mixed motives; how I see the brows quick bent!

'What, sir, yourself, none other, brought about

This change of estimation? Phœbus sent

His shafts as from Diana?' Critic pout

Turns courtier smile: 'Lo, him we took for her!

Pleasant mistake! You bear no malice, sir?'
