This we pass over. We will also pass

The usual progress of intrigues between

Unequal matches, such as are, alas!

A young Lieutenant's with a not old Queen,

But one who is not so youthful as she was

In all the royalty of sweet seventeen.[JY]Sovereigns may sway materials, but not matter,

And wrinkles, the d——d democrats! won't flatter.
