His manner was perhaps the more seductive,

Because he ne'er seemed anxious to seduce;

Nothing affected, studied, or constructive

Of coxcombry or conquest: no abuse

Of his attractions marred the fair perspective,

To indicate a Cupidon broke loose,[736]And seem to say, "Resist us if you can"—

Which makes a Dandy while it spoils a Man.
