Whoe’er thou art—ne’er may thy patriot fire,

Unfed by praise or patronage, expire!

Forbid it, Taste!—with Compensation large

Patrician hands thy labours shall o’ercharge![^[61]]

The Land and Malt of Jacobin Finance!

Whoe’er thou art—before thy feet we lay,

With lowly suit, our Number of to-day!

Spurn not our offering with averted eyes!
