  Unlike in Method, with conceal'd Design,
  Did crafty Horace his low Numbers join;
  And, with a sly insinuating Grace,
  Laugh'd at his Friend, and look'd him in the Face:
  Would raise a Blush, when secret Vice he found;
  And tickled, while he gently prob'd the Wound:
  With seeming Innocence the Crowd beguil'd;
But made the desperate Passes, when he smil'd.

  Persius Sat. I. Dryden.
