LXVIII.

For my part, now, I ne'er could understand

Why naughty women—but I won't discuss

A thing which is a scandal to the land,

I only don't see why it should be thus;

And if I were but in a gown and band,

Just to entitle me to make a fuss,

I'd preach on this till Wilberforce and Romilly

Should quote in their next speeches from my homily.
