GREAT men have been among us; hands that penn'd br    And tongues that utter'd wisdom--better none: br    The later Sidney, Marvel, Harrington, br Young Vane, and others who call'd Milton friend. br These moralists could act and comprehend: br    They knew how genuine glory was put on; br    Taught us how rightfully a nation shone br In splendour: what strength was, that would not bend br But in magnanimous meekness. France, 'tis strange, br    Hath brought forth no such souls as we had then.
