Though, for support, I too could stand

Before some good, and great and grand,

I scorn to travel through the land

For signatures, with hat in hand,

Demean myself, and send my party

To beg to Deasy and McCarthy.

No; “starveling” first shall be my name

Ere I will sully thus my fame,

While I have leave to state my case

On this, before your Lordship’s face.
