Sooner "come Place into the Civil List

And champion him to the utmost[797]—" he would keep it,

Till duly disappointed or dismissed:

Profit he cared not for, let others reap it;

But should the day come when Place ceased to exist,

The country would have far more cause to weep it:

For how could it go on? Explain who can!

He gloried in the name of Englishman.
