Of cordial spirits and vital temperament,

And what to higher powers is justly due.

But you, Sir, know that in a neighbouring vale[IP]

A Priest abides before whose life such doubts

Fall to the ground; whose gifts of nature lie

Retired from notice, lost in attributes

Of reason, honourably effaced by debts

Which her poor treasure-house is content to owe,

And conquests over her dominion gained,

To which her frowardness must needs submit.
