Minutely faithful to each private trust, Or call'd to action for the public good. Earnest to slem corruption's whelming flood. And with a native energy of soul. That knows no selfish policy's controul, Pr^par'd to second, fearless to oppose. As conscience wills, unmov'd by friends or foes, Eclipsing like bright planets in their spheres, A twink'ling galaxy of meaner peers. Yet not the brilliance of patrician worth. Outshines the virtue of plebeian birth, M'hile glowing genius, tho' of humble na...me. Still kindles into honor's purest flame, "While talents elevated into place. Old freedom's temple still support and grace, Vv'hile indu-^try, the pride of modern times. Rich with no plunder of defenceless climes, Altlio' its argosies touch ev'ry coast Appears a sinking nation's strength and boast, Contrahttd with the venal courtly tribe, AVhose patriot service asks the custom'd bribe. Respect rluis paid, behold a struggling crowd. Medley ol liiL;h and low, of mean and proud. On sordid profit or gav j^leasure bent.
