Is there a Man, an Honour to the Age, Unsully’d by the keenest Party-rage; By Vice untainted; who, from early Youth, Firmly adher’d to Honour, Justice, Truth; Whom no unruly Passions e’re cou’d blind, Nor ruffle his Serenity of Mind; His Country’s Good, the Patriot’s noblest View, Unbrib’d, unaw’d, does stedfastly pursue; Polite in Manners, and rever’d his Sense, And long in Senates fam’d for Eloquence; But if to these Endowments of the Mind, A graceful Figure happily is join’d, Then flows thy Gall, then raves thy half-form’d Clay, Then frets thy putrid Carcass to Decay. So when the croaking Toad the Ox beheld, His envious Heart with Indignation swell’d. Vainly the Reptil thought he could extend His bloated Form, and Nature’s Error mend. He drew his Breath; he swell’d--he burst; he dy’d A Victim to his Arrogance and Pride. _FINIS._ * * * * * * * * * The Augustan Reprint Society WILLIAM ANDREWS CLARK MEMORIAL LIBRARY University of California, Los Angeles PUBLICATIONS IN PRINT [Where available, Project Gutenberg e-text numbers are shown in brackets.] 1948-1949 16.
