Mere mental bubbles, verbal filagree.

But, though thy lightest wish I would not thwart,

I prithee bid me play some other part

Another time, and I will give thee carte

Blanche to dictate; in truth aught else will be

Only a trifle,

Compared with versifying. I will dart,

At thy behest, e'en to the public mart

To buy a bonnet, or will gleefully

Carry a babe through Bond Street. My sole plea
