Was it his love of justice or applause,
Made the enthusiast, in the Douglas cause?
Made the success a jubilee too great,
His own the titles and the duke's estate?
And, as his Inverary Memoirs show,

The Duchess of Argyll showed how she regarded Mr. Boswell's zeal at her own table.


Render'd a duchess somewhat of a foe.
