LXXXIV.

There is a difference, says the song, "between

A beggar and a Queen,"[801] or was (of late

The latter worse used of the two we've seen—

But we 'll say nothing of affairs of state);

A difference "'twixt a Bishop and a Dean,"

A difference between crockery ware and plate,

As between English beef and Spartan broth—

And yet great heroes have been bred by both.
