And too warm summers bring : Our British soil is over rank, and breeds Among the noblest flowers a thousand pois'nous weeds.
And every stinking weed so lofly grows.
As if 'twould overshade the Royal Rose ; The Royal Rose, the glory of our mom, But, ah ! too much without a thorn.
VI.
Forgive (original mildness) this ill-govem'd zeal, 'TIS all the angry slighted Muse can do In the pollution of these days ; No province now is left her but to rail, And poetry has lost the art to praise, Alas, the o...ccasions are so few : Digitized by VjOOQIC 6 ODE TO ABCHBISHOP SANCROPT.
Ncme e'er but you, And your Almighty Master, knew With heavenly peace of mind to bear (Free from our tyrant passions, anger, scorn, or fear) The giddy turns of popular rage, And all the contradictions of a poison'd age ; The Son of God pronounced by the same breath Which straight pronounced his death ; And though I should but ill be understood.
In whoUy equalling our sin and theirs.
And measuring by the scanty thread of wit What we call holy, and great, and just, and good, (Methods in talk whereof our pride and ignorance make use,) And which our wild ambition foolishly compares With endless and with infinite ; Yet pardon, native Albion, when I say.
