While this high post of honour's in abeyance,

For one or two days, reader, we request

You'll mount with our young hero the conveyance

Which wafted him from Petersburgh: the best

Barouche, which had the glory to display once

The fair Czarina's autocratic crest,

When, a new Iphigene, she went to Tauris,

Was given to her favourite,[546] and now bore his.
