Allured by pelf, he turned, and straight was hither borne.
But hence, ideas like these—avaunt! delusions vain,
Far be from me the thought of coward flight,
Or unmatured resolve.

And on this road, in spite of former vows,
In spite of all my ancient predilections,
In spite of Argus, hand bills, nicknames, jeers,
In spite of what the minister may think
