Churchill defended, a poem

addressed to the minority [by Percival Stockdale]

collapse section
 

But chiefly be the Patriot Poet blest,
Rais'd high in Dignity above the rest:
Health, Peace, and Honour, while on Earth he stays,
With all their Sun-shine crown his precious Days!
May Eden's Fragrance breathe around his Tomb,
And his Fame flourish with no fainter Bloom!
