Whilst Gay's unhappy Fate thy Ear attends, br Thy Heart, indignant, scorns his faithless Friends; br Thy gen'rous Heart, which never learnt the Way, br A Friend or to deceive, or to betray: br With Honour and Integrity so blest, br Not Law, infectious, can pollute thy Breast: br With Justice and Humanity endow'd, br You shine, distinguish'd, 'midst a venal Croud.
