Churchill defended, a poem

addressed to the minority [by Percival Stockdale]

collapse section
 

Churchill's my Subject—generous Churchill hail!
Critics may snarl, Ecclesiastics rail:
Scotchmen appall'd, will certainly abuse
The manly Efforts of thy nervous Muse:
Deathless, however, will be thy Renown,
Thine is the Poet's, thine the Patriot's Crown.
