500 "Religion crowns the statesman and the man, What highland pole-axe half fo deep can wound? 505 Record profane and facred, drown the Muse, 510 Though loud, and far out-threat her threatening fong. 515 Guilt only startles at the name of guilt; And truth, plain truth, is welcome to the wife. Praife, and immortal praise, is Virtue's claim; 520 And Virtue's fphere is action: yet we grant 525 To close, my Lord! with that which all should close And all begin, and strike us every hour, Though 535 Though no war wak'd us, no black tempest frown'd.— 540 Where statesmen and their monarchs, (names of awe And distance here) shall rank with common men, Yet own their glory never dawn'd before.
