XXXI.

Into one of the sweetest of hotels,[KP] [579]Especially for foreigners—and mostly

For those whom favour or whom Fortune swells,

And cannot find a bill's small items costly.

There many an envoy either dwelt or dwells

(The den of many a diplomatic lost lie),

Until to some conspicuous square they pass,

And blazon o'er the door their names in brass.
