<L>_IF Men are deem'd for Loyalty</L>
<L>As Traytors to their Prince,</L>
<L>No wonder if Impiety</L>

<L>When tho&s;e of Merit are di&s;plac'd,</L>
<L>And worthle&s;s Wretches ri&s;e,</L>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>Great <HI>ORMOND</HI> who of late did &s;hine</L>
<L>Like <HI>Sol</HI> in this our Sphere,</L>
<L>Seems now eclip&s;ed for a Time,</L>

<L>The&s;e Earth-born Sons may Interpo&s;e,</L>

<LG>
<L><HI>ORMOND</HI> who no Addition wants,</L>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>Poor Minds may &s;toop to Things that's ba&s;e,</L>
<L>But this Heroic Soul</L>
<L>Derives his Greatne&s;s from his Race,</L>
<L>Train'd up in Honour's School.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He always fought with a De&s;ign</L>
<L>To do his Country Right,</L>
<L>His Sovereign would not undermine,</L>
<L>To heap up Millions by't.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>His Prince's Councils ne'er betray'd,</L>

<L>No ba&s;e Deductions ever made</L>

<L>Ingratitude ne'er fill'd his Brea&s;t,</L>
