Some holder of a place—
“Poor moralist! and what art thou?
A patriot in disgrace!
“Thy hand no gracious Regent meets,
No hive hast thou of pension sweets—
No stars, no riband to display;
In rebel speech thy hope is flown;
Thy name is up, thy party known—
We pocket while we may.”
From The New Tory Guide.
London: Ridgeway, 1819.
