To call men love-begotten, or proclaim[HE]Their mothers as the antipodes of Timon,
That hater of Mankind, would be a shame,
A libel, or whate'er you please to rhyme on:
But people's ancestors are History's game;[HF]And if one Lady's slip could leave a crime on
All generations, I should like to know
What pedigree the best would have to show?[359]
