Chapter_748

I won’t describe; description is my “forte,”

But every fool describes in these bright days

His wondrous journey to some foreign court,

And spawns his quarto, and demands your praise⁠—

Death to his publisher, to him ’tis sport;

While Nature, tortured twenty thousand ways,

Resigns herself with exemplary patience

To guide-books, rhymes, tours, sketches, illustrations.
