One whom his neighbours could believe and trust:

10

Of none suspected, neither man nor maid

By him were wrong'd, or were of him afraid.

There was indeed a frown, a trick of state

In Jachin;—formal was his air and gait;

But if he seem'd more solemn and less kind

Than some light men to light affairs confined,

Still 'twas allow'd that he should so behave

As in high seat, and be severely grave.
