Dimming the smiles of Nature; the carouse,
The fierce extremes of dalliance and of blood,
Had almost made him something less than Man.
At length came round the time he waited for;
The fraud and rapine of the prince he served
Rose to such height, as seemed, to the English chiefs
A source of fear, if not at once abridged;
And thereupon, they issued words of War.
Full long the Rajah treated, hoping still,
By terms, to pacify the alien power
