WALTER SPENCER-STANHOPE, AETAT. 70 From an ivory bust

  "In town what numbers into fame advance,
  Conscious of merit in the coxcombs' dance,
  The Op'ra, Almack's, park, assembly, play,
  Those dear destroyers of the tedious day,
  That wheel of fops, that saunter of the town,
  Call it diversion, and the pill goes down."
