He never thought nor felt for other men—
"Let one mind one, and all are minded then."
Friends he respected, and believed them just;
But they were men, and he would no man trust;
He tried and watch'd his people day and night,—
The good it harm'd not; for the bad 'twas right:

He could their humours bear, nay disrespect,
But he could yield no pardon to neglect;
That all about him were of him afraid,
