In every bold affair of war Digitized by G00gle TO THE MEMORY OF DU-VAC 153 He bad the chief command, and led them on ; For no man is judg'd fit to have the care Of others' lives, until h'aa made it known How much he does despise and scorn his own. vi. Whole provinces, 'twixt sun and sun, Have by his conqu'ring sword been won ; And mighty sums of money laid, For ransom, upon every man, And hostages deliver* d till 'twas paid. Th* excise and chimney-publican, The Jew forestaller and enhancer, To... him for all their crimes did answer. He vanquish'd the most fierce and fell Of all his foes, the Constable; And oft had beat his quarters up, And routed him and all his troop. He took the dreadful lawyer's fees, That in his own allow'd highway Does feats of arms as great as his, And when they' encounter in it, wins the day : Safe in his garrison, the Court, Where meaner criminals are sentenc'd for 't, To this stern foe he oft gave quarter, But as the Scotsman did to* a Tartar, That he, in time to come, Might in return from him receive his fatal doom.
