Travestie

Air.

Hence! avaunt! ’tis venal ground,

Wilkes, and all his free-born crew;

Within our pale no room is found,

Ye modern Algernons, for you.

Mute be the bold Alcaic strain

Of liberty, that spurns a chain,

Nor in these pliant courtly bow’rs

Let harsh Phillippic weeds choke adulation’s flowers.
