COLONEL THOMPSON IN PALACE YARD.
Who is that small Napoleon-featured pleader?The sage, whose metaphors are demonstrations;
The bard, whose music yet shall teach all nations
That ignorance is want, war, waste, and treason;
Thompson, the Hadyn and Molière of reason.
Clear-voiced as evening's throstle, o'er the booming
Of conscious forests heard when storms are coming,
He stills these thousands, like a people's leader.
