Pattern in himself to know,
Grace to stand and virtue go."
The last line is evidently corrupt. I would read,
"In grace to stand, in virtue go,"
in which I had been anticipated by Johnson. We have more than one instance of in being effaced in the beginning of a line; and such having been the case here, the printer, to get some appearance of sense, converted the remaining 'in' to and—also a usual change. 'To know,' 'to stand,' 'to go,' are equivalent to knowing, etc. (See Introd. p. [70].) For 'know,' I, as well as Mr. Staunton, had conjectured show; but no change is needed.
"How may likeness made in crimes,
Making practice on the times,
To draw with idle spider's strings
Most ponderous and substantial things!"
