XCIV.

And now I will give up all argument;

And positively, henceforth, no temptation

Shall "fool me to the top up of my bent:"—[763]Yes, I'll begin a thorough reformation.

Indeed, I never knew what people meant

By deeming that my Muse's conversation

Was dangerous;—I think she is as harmless

As some who labour more and yet may charm less.
