The Butterfly obtains | |
But little sympathy, | |
Though favorably mentioned | |
In Entomology. | |
Because he travels freely | |
And wears a proper coat, | |
The circumspect are certain | |
That he is dissolute. | |
Had he the homely scutcheon of modest Industry, | |
'T were fitter certifying for Immortality.
