Nor sunk his vigour, when a coward-reign The warrior fetter'd, and at last rcsign'd, To glut the vengeance of a vanquish'd foe. Then, active still and unrestrain'd, his mind 1505 Explored the vast extent of ages past, And with his prison-hours enrich'd the world; Yet found no times, in all the long research, So glorious, or so base, as those he proved, In which he conquer'd, and in which he bled. 1510 Nor can the Muse the gallant Sidney pass, The plume of war! with early laurels crown'd, The lover's myrtle, and the poet's bay.

Fair thy renown In awful sages and in noble bards; Soon as the light of dawning Science spread Her orient ray, and waked the Muses' song. Thine is a Bacon; hapless in his choice; 153 5 Unfit to stand the civil storm of state, And through the smooth barbarity of courts, With firm but pliant virtue, forward still To urge his cou...
