"But, not to overlook what thou may'st know,

Thy enemies are neither weak nor few;

And circumspect must be our course, and slow,

Or from my purpose ruin may ensue.

Dismiss thy followers;—let them calmly wait

Such change in thy estate

As I already have in thought devised;

And which, with caution due, may soon be realised."
