Lib’ral of promises and army contracts,

And so he rules the state. The sixth act brings him

To be a snug retired old baronet,

With ribband red on breast, and star on side:

His early zeal for change a world too hot

For his cool age: and his big eloquence,

Turning to gentler sounds, obedient pipes—

And we must pay the piper. Scene the last,

That ends this comfortable history,

Is a fat pension and a pompous peerage,
