WITH GEORGE BUBB DODINGTON

I

Ah, George Bubb Dodington Lord Melcombe,—no,

Yours was the wrong way!—always understand,

Supposing that permissibly you planned

How statesmanship—your trade—in outward show

Might figure as inspired by simple zeal

For serving country, king and commonweal,

(Though service tire to death the body, tease

The soul from out an o'ertasked patriot-drudge)
