Ratcliffe was steady, bold and loyal too.
This much be said, to palliate his offence,
Howe'er he liv'd, he died a man of sense.
But Frazer was a man by Heav'n decreed
Not quite so legible for fools to read.

And partial to their wit the clue forsook.
He has no policy when none they find,
And is not visible when they are blind.
As the sun's course thro' various scenes does wind
