XIII.

I leave the thing a problem, like all things:—

The morning came—and breakfast, tea and toast,

Of which most men partake, but no one sings.

The company whose birth, wealth, worth, has cost

My trembling Lyre already several strings,

Assembled with our hostess, and mine host;

The guests dropped in—the last but one, Her Grace,

The latest, Juan, with his virgin face.
