Not illustrated. 1836 edition. Excerpt: ... read his lectures, so admired at home, Historic lectures, where he loved to mix His free plain hints on modern politics: Here, he had heard, that numbers had design, Their business finish''d, to sit down and dine; This gave him pleasure, for he judged it right To show by day that he could speak at night. Rash the design--for he perceived, too late, Not one approving friend beside him sate; The greater number, whom he traced around, Were men in black, and he conceived they fiwn''d. I will not speak, he thought; no pearls of mine Shall be presented to this, herd of swine; Not this avail''d him, when he cast his eye On Justice Bolt; he could not fight, nor fly: He saw a man to whom he gave the pain, Which now he felt must be return''d again; His conscience told him with what keen delight He, at that time, enjoy ''d a stranger''s fright; That stranger now befriended--he alone, For all his insult, friendless, to atone; Now he could feel it cruel that a heart Should be distress''d, and none to take its part; Though one by one, said Pride, I would defy ''Much greater men, yet meeting every eye, I do confess a fear--but he will pass me by Vain hope! the Justice saw the foe''s distress, With exultation he could not suppress; He felt the fish was hook''d--and so forbore, In playful spite, to draw it to the shore. Hammond look''d round again; but none were near, With friendly smile to still his growing fear; But all above him seem''d a solemn row Of priests and deacons, so they seem''d below; He wonder''d who his right-hand man might be--Vicar of Holt cum Uppingham was he; And who the man of that dark frown possess''d--Rector of Bradley and of Barton-west; A pluralist, he growl''d--but check''d the word, That warfare might not, by his zeal, be stirr''d....
