Jews, authors, generals, charlatans, combine,710

While Europe wonders at the vast design:

There Metternich, power's foremost parasite,

Cajoles; there Wellington forgets to fight;

There Chateaubriand[342] forms new books of martyrs;

And subtle Greeks[343] intrigue for stupid Tartars;

There Montmorenci, the sworn foe to charters,[344]

Turns a diplomatist of great éclat,

To furnish articles for the "Débats;"

Of war so certain—yet not quite so sure
