LIX.

For a "mixed company" implies that, save

Yourself and friends, and half a hundred more,

Whom you may bow to without looking grave,

The rest are but a vulgar set, the Bore

Of public places, where they basely brave

The fashionable stare of twenty score

Of well-bred persons, called "The World;" but I,

Although I know them, really don't know why.
