And hoodwink'd party heads the senseless train;
Here meets her motley tribe—here holds her court,
For pamper'd Gluttony, the grand resort.
From orgies so profane—stern Freedom flown,
Corruption mounts her abdicated throne.
Unhappy Britain—thy degenerate tribe,
Like Esau, barter birthright for a bribe."—E.
THE ELECTION, PLATE I. THE ENTERTAINMENT.
