While Adeline dispensed her airs and graces,

The fair Fitz-Fulke seemed very much at ease;

Though too well bred to quiz men to their faces,

Her laughing blue eyes with a glance could seize

The ridicules of people in all places⁠—

That honey of your fashionable bees⁠—

And store it up for mischievous enjoyment;

And this at present was her kind employment.
