‘What a great soul is William Pitt!
What mind! what energies! what wit!
Give him a statue—vote him money!
Great creature! greatest thing alive,
The lab'ring bee of our large hive:
Fill his dear throat with half the honey:
His wants are many—ease him, ease him;
Ev'n let the nation starve, to please him.’
