Chapter_1789

His manner was perhaps the more seductive,

Because he ne’er seemed anxious to seduce;

Nothing affected, studied, or constructive

Of coxcombry or conquest: no abuse

Of his attractions marred the fair perspective,

To indicate a Cupidon broke loose,

And seem to say, “Resist us if you can”⁠—

Which makes a Dandy while it spoils a Man.
