Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ...and lineage proud, Was yet from every degradation spared. And how he lived, and went a killing pace, With polished footsteps and a finished grace. VIII. No wonder Duan was a favourite, Or that his handsome person was admired; That he was rather spoilt, if not so quite, And that no end of passions he inspired. It was indeed a trial by no means light When he from 'mongst the "upper ten" retired; And all Society was rather riled When he took refuge in Bohemia's wild. IX.

'Tis silly How one admits a piece of pasteboard's claim, And has to do its bidding "willy-nilly," And dine and dance, and dawdle without measure, Because it is Society's good pleasure. x. No other mistress could be so severe, Or bully man so much, or so afflict him, As Duan found when, in his twentieth year, He to her tyranny became a victim; And served her until, from exhaustion sheer, He well-nigh wished Society had kick'd him, Or that, still better, he had kick'd Society, And gone in for Bohemian variety. XI. Think what he went through! How he'd to observe A code of laws unwritten, but Draconic, Which make life all straight lines without a curve--And so conservative and non-Byronic, That he who from their ruling dares to swerve Is punished with severity Masonic--The eternal laws of Fashion's legislature, Being ever urged 'gainst those who go for Nature. XI r. Duan soon found he had to dress by rule; His own sartorial taste did not avail; or Could he help the idea he was a fool When he had audiences of his tailor. Scorn mixed with pity filled the face of Poole As he, as though he had been Duan's...
