We'll Act unseen, and all around us Move.
So Catiline the Fate of Rome design'd,
And when h' had form'd the Scheme within his Mind,
In such a warm Harangue his Friends addrest,
And open'd all the Secret of his Breast.

Tho' just before he scarcely could Controul
The stormy Passion swelling in his Soul;
His restless Soul, that rends his sickly Frame,
Worn with a poys'nous and corroding Flame.
An unjust J———e, and blemish of the M——,
Witness the Bankers long depending Case.
