But which 't is time to teach the hireling tribe

Who fatten on their country's gore, and debts,

Must be recited—and without a bribe.

Death laughs—Go ponder o'er the skeleton

With which men image out the unknown thing

That hides the past world, like to a set sun

Which still elsewhere may rouse a brighter spring—
