A grand repast, for which the guests have paid.
At length, with power endued and wealthy grown,
Frailties and passions, long suppressed, were shown;
Then, to provoke him was a dangerous thing;
His pride would punish, and his temper sting;

His powerful hatred sought th' avenging hour,
And his proud vengeance struck with all his power—
Save when th' offender took a prudent way
The rising storm of fury to allay.
