Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:

A little while, that in me sings no more.

That not in fancy's maze he wandered long:
But stooped to truth, and moralised his song:
That not for fame, but virtue's better end,
He stood the furious foe, the timid friend,
The damning critic, half approving wit,
The coxcomb hit, or fearing to be hit;
Laughed at the loss of friends he never had,
The dull, the proud, the wicked, and the mad;
The distant threats of vengeance on his head,
The blow unfelt, the tear he never shed;
The tale revived, the lie so oft o'erthrown,
The imputed trash, and dulness not his own;
The morals blackened when the writings scape,
The libelled person, and the pictured shape;
Abuse, on all he loved, or loved him, spread,
A friend in exile, or a father, dead;
The whisper, that to
greatness
still too near,
Perhaps, yet vibrates, on his sovereign's ear:--
Welcome for thee, fair virtue!

Shall thus be first beheld, forgotten last:

Attract thy fairy fingers near the lyre
Of him who hailed thee, loveliest as thou wast,

Where never cawing crows can wing their course,
Not even when smoke the altars with good gifts,--
But

As poets of the Greeks have sung the tale;

I, in the
Catalogue
ye goe for men,
As Hounds, and Greyhounds, Mungrels, Spaniels, Curres,
Showghes, Water-Rugs, and Demy-Wolues are clipt
All by the Name of Dogges: the valued file
Distinguishes the swift, the slow, the subtle,
The House-keeper, the Hunter, euery one
According to the gift, which bounteous Nature
Hath in him clos'd: whereby he does receiue
Particular addition, from the Bill,
That writes them all alike: and so of men.

The brown tint of his glowing cheek still rough;
