Were some folks to exclaim, who fill a throne,
‘Grant me an honest fame, or grant me none;’
Such princes were upon the forlorn hope,—
Soon, very soon, to reputation dead;
Their idle laureats, faith, might shut up shop,
And bid their lofty genius go to bed.
‘Grant me an honest fame, or grant me none;’
Such princes were upon the forlorn hope,—
Soon, very soon, to reputation dead;

And bid their lofty genius go to bed.
