PURN not the nobly born With love affected, Nor treat with virtuous scorn
 * The well connected.

High rank involves no shame— I boast an equal claim With him of humble name
 * To be respected!
 * Blue blood! Blue blood!
 * When virtuous love is sought,
 * Thy power is naught,
 * Though dating from the Flood,
 * Blue blood!
