Nor near the bar, nor in the pit was he,

“The next, with favours white, and strange designs.

Swift up the church-way path we saw him whirled;

Just take your eye and throw it o’er the lines

That show he’s lost for ever to the world.”

The Epigraph.

Here lives, retired, with no more to excite,

A youth to all the corps de ballet known;

Fair woman smiled upon him every night,

Till Matrimony marked him for her own.
