While, through some long drawn speech, in periods lame,
A stammering placeman courts their lingering praise.

Yet, chance, in that sequester’d spot is laid
Some heart well fram’d for ministerial hire,
Hands that for Treasury job had well been paid,
Or wak’d to fame some Admiralty lyre[25].

Rich with a people’s spoil, did ne’er unrol;
Some puny job must fire their noble rage,
