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.
