"Panting for power—as harts for cooling streams—
Yet half afraid to venture for the draught;
A go-between, yet blundering in extremes,

Now shrinking back, now midst the first he seems,
Patriot by force, and courtisan[D] by craft;
Quick without wit, and violent without strength—
A disappointed Lawyer, at full length.
