“In golden characters, right well
designed,
First on the list appeareth one ‘Junot;’
Then certain other glorious names we find;
(Which rhyme compelleth me to place below—)
Dull victors! baffled by a vanquished
foe,
Wheedled by conynge tongues of laurels
due,
Stand, worthy of each other, in a row
Sirs Arthur, Harry, and the dizzard Hew
Dalrymple, seely wight, sore dupe of ’tother
tew.”
