THE NEW COALITION.[^[157]]

I.

Fox.—When erst I coalesced with North

And brought my Indian bantling forth[^[158]]

In place—I smiled at faction’s storm,

Nor dreamt of radical reform.

II.

Tooke.—While yet no patriot project pushing,

Content I thump’d old Brentford’s cushion,

I pass’d my life so free and gaily;
