Lordly men are to earth o'ergiven,
Nor may he then the flesh-cover, whose

Nor eat the sweet nor feel the sorry,

My Lords, I will now come to a scene of peculation
of another kind: namely, a peculation by the direct
sale of offices of justice, - by the direct sale of the

and trusts, held most sacred among the people of India: by the sale of them, not, as before, to farmers, not,
as you might imagine, to near relations of the families,
but a sale of them to the
unfaithful
servants of those,

And when they nearer came a third one cried,
‘It is young Dionysos who has hid
His spear and fawnskin by the river side
Weary of hunting with the Bassarid,
And wise indeed were we away to fly:
They live not long who on the gods
immortal
come to spy.
