Attend their steps where’er they go,

And travel by their side.

“O! were it not that, deep and low,

Beyond thy reach I’m laid,

Rapacious Boswell had e’er now

Johnson a mummy made.”

He ceased, and stalk’d from Boswell’s sight

With fierce indignant mien,

Scornful as Ajax, sullen sprite,

By Sage Ulysses seen.
