Think! what a mob of little men

Are crawling just within our ken,

Like mites upon a cheese!—

Pshaw!—how the foolish sight rebukes

Ambitious thoughts!—can there be Dukes

Of Gloster such as these!—

XIII.

Oh! what is glory?—what is fame?

Hark to the little mob's acclaim,

'Tis nothing but a hum!—
