POLITENESS

What! do I apprehend aright,

My Boy, my Herbert impolite?

Oh say! oh say not so.

I did not see you doff your Hat

To Lady Charlotte Merton, that

Is not genteel you know.

See how polite young Frankie hies

To ope the Door for General Wyse,

And take from him his Cane.

In later times, when Frank’s extoll’d,

Your Manner, deemed uncouth and bold,

Will give you bitter Pain.
