Perchance buy heavier scourges for the backs

Of lesser Hebrews, whom his wolfish packs

Of salaried minions hunt.

Take back thine hand,

Imperious Autocrat, and understand

Gold buys not, rules not, serves not, salves not all.

Blood speaks—in favour of the helpless thrall

Of tyranny. Here's no tame Shylock: he

Shall not bend low, and in a bondsman's key,

Make o'er his money-bags with unctuous grace
