Dropped manna; and could make the worse appear
The better reason, to perplex and dash

Maturest counsels.

Aspéct he rose, and in his rising seemed
A pillar of state; deep on his front engraven
Deliberation sat and public care;

And princely counsel in his face yet shone,
Majestic though in ruin.

Still threatening to devour me, opens wide,
