History & Politics
Modern Critics
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1912)
History & Politics
No private grudge they need, no personal spite,
The viva sectio is its own delight!
All enmity, all envy, they disclaim,
Disinterested thieves of our good name--
Cool, sober murderers of their neighbours' fame!
