A MAN OF CONSEQUENCE

A brow austere, a circumspective eye.

A frequent shug of the os humeri*:

A blustering manner, and a tone of weight,

A smile sarcatic, an expressive stare:

Adopt all these, as time and place will bear; 

Then rest assured that those of modest sense

Will deem you a man of consequence.
