Some petty Chartres, that with dauntless breast

Each call of worth or honesty withstood;

Some mute, inglorious Wilmot[4] here may rest;

Some * * * * * * *, guiltless of his steward’s blood.

The votes of venal senates to command,

The worthy man’s opinion to despise,

To scatter mischiefs o’er a trusting land,

And read their curses in a nation’s eyes,

Their lot forbad; nor circumscrib’d alone

Their groveling fortunes, but their crimes confin’d;
