Describer of Rome, both as glorious and base,

With mod rate correctness, and infinite grace;

Who told how a wolf, in her blood-spattered home,

Took charge of the two city fathers of Rome;

How Remus resigned, from some reasons of weight,

And Romulus seemed to endure it, "first-rate;"

How his guests from the Sabines escaped with their lives,

But left all their best-looking daughters for wives

(Let this be a warning, by fathers e er carried;

Keep daughters from school if you don't want them married!);
