6 POEMS AND SATIRES OP And yet there walks ooe on the sod.Who, had it pEe^Eikl him and God,Might QDce have made our gardens spriQgFtesh as hie own. and flouriEhing.But he preferred to the Cinque Ports 'Theae fiye imaginary forts,Aod, in those half-dry trenches, spanre^^Power which the oreao might command. For he did, with his utmost skill,Ambition weed, but conscience tiU ;Conscience, that heaTcn-nurscd plant}Which most our earthly gardens want,A prickling leaf it bears, afld suchAs that which shrinks at every touch,But tJowers eternal and divine,That in the crowpe of Saints do Bhine.
