Fain would I next great D---son rehearse,
And greet him with new honours in my verse;
O! might I call him by that awful name,
Which his soul covets, and his merits claim!
How would it touch the cockles of my heart
In ordinance to see him bear his part,
'Gainst upstart masters wage confederate war,
And Golgotha receive another star.
And greet him with new honours in my verse;
O! might I call him by that awful name,
Which his soul covets, and his merits claim!
How would it touch the cockles of my heart
In ordinance to see him bear his part,
32
And Golgotha receive another star.
