Another on Fame + 

Fame, like a wayward girl, will still be coy + 

To those who woo her with too slavish knees, + 

But makes surrender to some thoughtless boy, + 

And dotes the more upon a heart at ease; + 

She is a Gipsy,⁠—will not speak to those + 

Who have not learnt to be content without her; + 

A Jilt, whose ear was never whisper’d close, + 

Who thinks they scandal her who talk about her; + 

A very Gipsy is she, Nilus-born, + 

Sister-in-law to jealous Potiphar; + 

Ye lovesick Bards! repay her scorn for scorn; + 

Ye Artists lovelorn! madmen that ye are! + 

Make your best bow to her and bid adieu, + 

Then, if she likes it, she will follow you. + 
