XV.—ANOTHER.
[When patriots sent a bishop 'cross the seas]
When patriots sent a bishop 'cross the seas,They met to fix the Pains and Penalties;
While true-blue blood-hounds on his death were bent,
Thy mercy, Walpole, voted banishment;
Or forced thy sovereign's orders to perform,
Or proud to govern as to raise the storm.
Thy goodness, shown in such a dangerous day,
He only who received it can repay:
Thou never justly recompensed canst be,
Till banish'd Francis do the same for thee.
