LI.

How far it profits is another matter.—

Our hero gladly saw his little charge

Safe with a lady, whose last grown-up daughter

Being long married, and thus set at large,

Had left all the accomplishments she taught her

To be transmitted, like the Lord Mayor's barge,

To the next comer; or—as it will tell

More Muse-like—like to Cytherea's shell.[LP]
