Rh Not the fair-feather’d fop, fond of faſhion & dreſs;

Not the ’Squire, that can reliſh no joys bntbut [sic] the chace;

Not the free-thinking rake, whom no mortals can bind;

Neither this, that, nor t’other’s the man to my mind,

Not the ruddy fac‘d-ſot, who tops world without end;

Not the drone, that can’t reliſh his bottle & friend;

Not the fool, that’s too fond; nor the churl, that’s unkind;

Neither this, &c.

Not the rich, with full bags, without breeding or merit;

Not the fluſh, that’s all fury, without any ſpirit;

Not the fine Mr. Fribble, the ſcorn of mankind;

Neither this, &c.

But the youth, whom good ſenſe and good nature inſpire,

Whom the brave muſt eſteem, and the fair ſhould admire:

In whoſe heart love and truth are with honour conjoined, This, this, and no other’s the man to my mind.
