Page:Faction display'd. A poem. Answer'd paragraph by paragraph.pdf/39

A shallow Statesman, tho' of mighty Fame,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$
For who cane e'er that Curst Particion Name,
But to his soul Disgrace, and to his Shame?
Nay spight of all his loud and vain Defence,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$
He shew'd a want of Honesty or Sense,
Tn passing ev'ry Plund'ring Courtier's Grants.
He is (for Satyr dares the Truth declare)
Deist, Republican, Adulterer.
Thus his lov'd Clodio, for his Speech he prais'd,
And Joy and Wonder in the Hearers rais'd.
There spoke the Guardian Genius of our Cause,
Whose ev'ry word deserves Divine Applause.
Not e'en ^[1]Cethego's self could form a Plot,
More nicely Spun, more exquisitely Wrought.
