Left him nor mental nor external sun:

A better farmer ne'er brush'd dew from lawn,

A worse king never left a realm undone!

He died—but left his subjects still behind,

One half as mad—and t' other no less blind.

He died! his death made no great stir on earth:

His burial made some pomp: there was profusion

Of velvet, gilding, brass, and no great dearth

Of aught but tears—save those shed by collusion.
