English poem
On the forbidding Command to the Duchess of QUEENSBERRY
by Anonymous
How blest the court? How loft the fair Who's banish'd thence, where all submit (Such is our prudent monarch's care!) To Cibber's modesty and wit.
True wit can never want support Where learned Grafton's the Mecaenas; And ladies must adore that court Where Ganymede takes place of Venus.
