That wiped your shoes, and with your crumbs was fed;
When life and riches proffer'd to his view
Before his eyes the strong temptation threw,
Rather than quit integrity of heart,
Or act like you the unmanly traitor's part,
Disdains the purchase of a worthless life,
And bares his bosom to the butch'ring knife;
Each mean compliance gallantly denies,
And in mute honesty is brave and dies.
While you, tho' tutor'd from your early youth
