THE MORAL.

Who libel senates, and traduce the great,
Measure the public good by private hate:
Interest's their rule of love; fierce to oppose
All whom superior virtue makes their foes.
Thy merits, Rochester, thus give offence;
The guilty faction hates discerning sense:
Thus Harley, Seymour, Howe, and Mackworth find,
Great eye-sores to the loud rapacious kind;
But, whilst in holes addressing Owls repine,
Bright as the Sun their patriot names will shine.
