In years that follow victory won,
How sweet to feel your festal fame
In womans glance instinctive thrown:
Repose is yoursyour deed is known,”

All that are different of a base intent;
Pull down established honour; hawk for news
Whatever their loose phantasy invent
And murmur it with bated breath....”
