Your bays may hide the baldness of your brows⁠—

Perhaps some virtuous blushes;⁠—let them go⁠—

To you I envy neither fruit nor boughs⁠—

The field is universal, and allows

Scope to all such as feel the inherent glow:

Scott, Rogers, Campbell, Moore, and Crabbe, will try

’Gainst you the question with posterity.
