Manifold tumults and incessant strife,

That seemed to hang upon a single life

To whom the calm of general content,

The stedfastness of public good,

Was tiresome as the weight

That presses down the minds of mariners,

When not a billow stirs

On the wide surface of the ocean flood.

{ Untractable disturber of the State, }

{ Strong is he—and concessions have proved vain, }
