Amid these wilds, this answer may suffice;

'Twas Nature's will;[538] who sometimes undertakes,

For the reproof of human vanity,

Art to outstrip in her peculiar walk.

Hence, for this Favourite—lavishly endowed

With personal gifts, and bright instinctive wit,

While both, embellishing each other, stood

Yet farther recommended by the charm

Of fine demeanour, and by dance and song,

And skill in letters—every fancy shaped
