I must confess, so infamous a knave

Can do no service, though the humblest slave:

}

{ Villains I praise, and patriots accuse;

{ My railing and my fawning talents use;

{ Just as they pay, I flatter or abuse

But I to men in power a —— am still,

To rub on any honest face they will.

}

{ Thus on I'll go; for libels I declare;
