Some picture of himself—I dedicate,

I dedicate, I consecrate with smiles—

These Idle Lays—

Indeed, He seemed to me

Scarce other than my own ideal liege,

Who did not muchly care to trouble take;

But his concern was, comfortable ease

To dress in well-cut tweeds, in doeskin suits,

In pants of patterns marvellous to see;

To smoke good brands; to quaff rare vintages;
