ON HONOUR.
Not all the threats, or favours of a crown,
A Prince's whisper, or a tyrant's frown,
Can awe the spirit, or allure the mind
Of him who to strict honour is inclin'd,
On higher springs true men of honour move,
Free is their service, and unbought their love:
When danger calms and honour leads the way,
With joy they follow, and with pride obey.
