Thou supple-lhubed and nimble-stepping slave Of two cold masters, Luxuiy and Wealth, The wages of thy task they duly gave, Thy food was choice, and thy apparel brave : Appeal not now to vanished days of joy For arguments to succour and to save, — Proud Self indulgence hath a newer toy. And younger slaves have skill, and these thy Lords employ. LVII. And thou, first flatterer of her early prime. E'er praises grew familiar as the light. And the young feet flew round in measured time Amid a storm ...of clapping every night ; Thou, at whose glance the smile grew really bright That decked her lips for tutored mirth before, — Wilt THOU deny her and forget her quite ? Thy idol, for whose sake the lavish store In prodigal caprice thy hand was wont to pour ? 159 Yea, wherefore not ? for Self, and not for her, Those sums were paid, her facile love to win : Thy heart's cold ashes vainly would she stir, The light is quenched she looked so lovely in ! Eke out the measure of thy fault, and sin " First with her, then against her, " (*^) cast her off.
