I / The "good old times" - all times when old are good - / Are gone; the present might be if they would; / Great things have been, and are, and greater still / Want little of mere mortals but their will: / A wider space, a greener field, is given / To those who play their "tricks before high heaven. " / I know not if the angels weep, but men / Have wept enough - for what? - to weep again!
II / All is exploded - be it good or bad. / Reader! remember when thou wert a lad, / Then Pitt was all; or, if not all, so much, / His very rival almost deemed him such.
