Th' imperial ensign, which full high advanc'd
Shone like a meteor, streaming to the wind.
His [Burke's] imperial fancy has laid all Nature under tribute, and has collected riches from every scene of the creation and every walk of art.
Saint George, that swinged the dragon, and e'er since
Sits on his horse back at mine hostess' door.
Two truths are told,
As happy prologues to the swelling act
Of the imperial theme.
From humble Port to imperial Tokay.
And the imperial votaress passed on,
In maiden meditation, fancy-free.
Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound,
And maidens call it love-in-idleness.
