I call such things transmission; for there is

A floating balance of accomplishment,

Which forms a pedigree from Miss to Miss,

According as their minds or backs are bent.

Some waltz⁠—some draw⁠—some fathom the abyss

Of Metaphysics; others are content

With Music; the most moderate shine as wits;⁠—

While others have a genius turned for fits.
