PLATE I.
While the proud Earl of .KoMo's royal race.
Points to the peers his pompous parchment grace ;
Builds all his honours on a noble name,
And on his father's deeds depends for fame;
The wary citizen, with heedful eye.
Inspects what's settled on posterity;
Pours out the pelf by rigid avarice pil'd.

In his own person centres all Ms pride,
And as his bride loves him, will love his bride.

That lead to shame, remorse, and infamy. E.
