Forth rushed, from Envy sprung and Self-conceit,

A Power misnamed the Spirit of Reform,

And through the astonished Island swept in storm,

Threatening to lay all Orders at her feet

That crossed her way. Now stoops she to entreat 5

Where she may work, safe, undisquieted,

In a close Box, covert for Justice meet.

Fixed on the Suitor; frustrate her request— 10
