But when the outer man no more required,

The inner waked, and he was man inspired.

His subjects then were those, a subject true

Presents in fairest form to public view;

Of church and state, of law, with mighty strength

Of words he spoke, in speech of mighty length:

And now, into the vale of years declined,

He hides too little of the monarch-mind:

He kindles anger by untimely jokes,

And opposition by contempt provokes;
