When he the Laureate laurels wears.
And I am he who opened Hades,
To harmless parsons and to ladies!
For I can "moralise my song"
More palpably than Mr. POPE;
And I can touch the toiling throng:
There is small doubt of that, I hope.
I've piped for him who ploughs the furrows,
And stood for the Carmarthen Boroughs.
I mayn't be strong, inspired, complete,
