Quæ Genus & the Money-Lenders.
Quæ Genus, was brimful of zeal
To seize each turn of Fortune's wheel,
And eager to fulfil his plan
Of rising to a gentleman:
But though gold roll'd beneath his eye,
Though fees were paid and bribes were high,
His heart, which had not lost its feeling,
Shrunk from the base, remorseless dealing,
That gloating avarice employ'd
