"Would you had thought twice, Ah! if you had but follow'd my advice." Byron. We left Guy in Mr.
C. Fox follow'd him in a Landau & 6 Horses cover'd in Favors & Lawrels. The appearance this Procession made was equal in splendor to the public Entry of an Ambassador." A by-election was impending in Yorkshire, and Pitt, paying a social visit to the famous Mrs. B. one of the Whig Queens of the West Riding said, banteringly, "Well, the election is all right for us.
"He travell'd Europe round, And gather'd every vice on foreign ground; Till home return'd, and perfectly well-bred, With nothing but a solo in his head; Stolen from a duel, follow'd by a nun, And, if a borough choose him not undone." But this vice did not descend among the body of the people.
