English poem
At regina gravi, &c.--Virg. Æn. iv. 1.--POPE
by Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
But anxious cares already seized the queen; She fed within her veins a flame unseen. Dryden's Transl.—WAKEFIELD.
The thought and turn of these lines is imitated from the Dispensary, Canto iii.:
Not beauties fret so much if freckles come, Or nose should redden in the drawing-room.
