There was the Duke of Dash, who was a⁠—duke,

“Aye, every inch a” duke; there were twelve peers

Like Charlemagne’s⁠—and all such peers in look

And intellect, that neither eyes nor ears

For commoners had ever them mistook.

There were the six Miss Rawbolds⁠—pretty dears!

All song and sentiment; whose hearts were set

Less on a convent than a coronet.
