I will be correspondent to command,
And do my spiriting gently.
Whoe'er she be,
That not impossible she,
That shall command my heart and me.
Though her mien carries much more invitation than command, to behold her is an immediate check to loose behaviour; to love her was a liberal education.
'T is not in mortals to command success,
But we 'll do more, Sempronius,—we 'll deserve it.
