Some village Lovelace, whom with dauntless breast.

Rustic Clarissa painfully withstood;

Some mute inglorious Dando here may rest;

Some Soyer, with a genius for food.

The smiles of real ladies to command,

Glances to win from more than cookmaid’s eyes,

Dinners and suppers in good style to stand,

And area-snacks and broken meat despise,

Their means forbade—nor circumscribed alone,

Their loves and pockets, their beats, too, confined:
