Feeds, for his country’s good, on legs of beef:

Camillus copies deeds for sordid pay,

Yet fights the public battles twice a-day:

E’en now the godlike Brutus views his score

Scroll’d on the bar-board, swinging with the door:

Where, tippling punch, grave Cato’s self you’ll see,

And

Amor Patriæ

vending smuggled tea.

Last in these ranks, and least, their art’s disgrace,
