Content at least that I have once agen

Poured scorn upon the puny writing men

That chaffer for the laurel wreath of fame,

And think their trash deserves a lasting name.

Immortal, I behold the passing show

Of little witlings ruling things below,

And smile to see, repeated o'er and o'er,

The literary tricks I lash'd before,

And lash again, with satisfaction deep;

And other 'rods in pickle' I shall keep
