      Bound hand and foot by the ties of my First , For my Second they rage with a furious thirst ; To the voice of Honour no ear they lend , Nor care what the means so they gain their end . When gained , is one rag of principle left ? E ' en of that by my Second they'll soon be bereft . Now stripped of all that the Man should hold dear , The Minister ' s hailed by my First ' s loud cheer ; The honour that courtesy gives him by right , Unblushing he drags through the dirt every night . And these be your statesmen ! we leave them the name , And feel what alone they never can feel—Shame .
