344 THE POLITICAL PASSING BELL-PARODY XI Cou d generous deeds the wise, the brave the just- Command the shifting wind s uncertain breath, The statesman s hero s sage s patriot s dust, Might rise triumphant from politick death.
XII Perhaps true independent, conscious pride, Illum d by reason, not from passion s flame, The rod of Empire to those men deny d, Whose long-past service founded present claims.
XIII Oh! be it Liberty s, from age to age, To trace the windings of the Courtier s soul; Curb... the proud Noble teach the doubting Sage, And bid the Tyrant s thunders harmless roll.
XIV Kind, social manners temper mild -serene, In howling wood or upland bush may dwell: And philosophic Magi rove unseen, Beyond the sound of rude Contention s bell.
