Judging Jove’s jealous judgments, jaundiced jests!

Kneel, kirtled knight! keep keener kingcraft known,

Let larger lore life’s levelling lessons loan:

Marauders must meet malefactors’ meeds;

No nation noisy non-conformists needs.

O oracles of old! our orb ordain

Peace’s possession—Plenty’s palmy plain!

Quiet Quixotic quests; quell quarrelling;

Rebuke red riot’s resonant rifle ring.

Slumber seems strangely sweet since silence smote
