... Now, first and foremost, learn to bend your back!—
Be Veneration’s self personified.
Dress ill; your clothes should fit you like a sack,
And always take some big-wig for your guide.
The cowl does make the monk in such a case,
And the wall’s valued by its plaster face....
Get introduced, and every blessed night
Visit some lout they’ve made a minister.
There choose your time, and change your stops aright,
According as his tastes or whims prefer.
