But whether fits, or wits, or harpsichords⁠—

Theology⁠—fine arts⁠—or finer stays,

May be the baits for Gentlemen or Lords

With regular descent, in these our days,

The last year to the new transfers its hoards;

New vestals claim men’s eyes with the same praise

Of “elegant” et cetera, in fresh batches⁠—

All matchless creatures⁠—and yet bent on matches.
