He stood upon an eminence--he might
Have been a very father to his people,
But all his aim and pleasure was to raise
Himself and his own house: and now may those
Whom he has lament for him!

But all his aim and pleasure was to raise
Himself and his own house: and now may those
Whom he has lament for him!
