But though I am a temperate theologian,

And also meek as a metaphysician,

Impartial between Tyrian and Trojan,

As Eldon[761] on a lunatic commission,—

In politics my duty is to show John

Bull something of the lower world's condition.

It makes my blood boil like the springs of Hecla,[762]To see men let these scoundrel Sovereigns break law.
