    (Earth has no unpolluted spring)
    From the cursed soil some dang'rous taint they bear;
    So roses grow on thorns, and honey wears a sting.

Strutting and dancing and now planted stiff,
In all his pomp read more

Behold him in conceited circles sail,
Strutting and dancing and now planted stiff,
In all his pomp of pageantry, as if
He felt the eyes of Europe on his tail.
