True to no faith, not generous, just, nor kind.

Time was, each Virtue was distinctly known,

And Faith and Justice sat beside the throne;

Time was, when Justice owned prescriptive right,

And Policy disdained to side with spite,

Not hounding on the envious pack which pant

To tear away the bone they do not want,

Ere yet she summed each ancient grievance up,

As if they all still mantled in the cup,

And loved by antiquated tales to shew,
