Who when terror & doubt thro' the universe reign'd, While rapine & Treason their standards unfurl'd The heart & the hopes of his Country maintain'd And one [[underline]] Kingdom preserv'd [[/underline]] midst the wreck of the World Unheeding, unthankful, we bask in the blaze While the beams of the sun in full majesty shine, When he sinks into twilight with fondness we gaze And mark the [[underline]] mild lustre [[/underline]] that gilds his decline So Pitt, -- when the course of thy greatness is o'er Thy talents, thy virtues we fondly recall how justly we prize thee, when lost we deplore Admir'd in [[underline]] thy zenith, [[/underline]] -- but lov'd in thy fall.
