The Muses Crown Virtue When Fortune Refuses

Our Collection Of Men Is Very Antique, They Stand In My List Thus: A Man Of Sense, A Little Rusty, A Beau A Good Deal The Worse For Wearing, A Coxcomb Extremely Shattered, A Pretty Gentleman Very Insipid, A Baronet Very Solemn, A Squire Very Fat, A Fop Much Affected, A Barrister Learned In Coke Upon Littleton, But Who Knows Nothing Of `long Ways For Marry As Will', An Heir Apparent, Very Awkward; Which Of These Will Cast A Favourable Eye Upon Me I Don't Know.

The Muses Crown Virtue When Fortune Refuses To Do It.
