Cover his face lest it freckle and tan ; Muster the Apron-String Guards on the C...ommon, That is the corps for the sweet little man ! " 2 This satiric turn to his humour is frequently given in snatches of his song, as though the philo sopher were driving a truth home with a weapon lent him by the poet. Of the pen he says in The 1 Poems, ii. , p. 1IU. - llnd. , ii. , p. LMt>.
