117 to sterner qualities in all liis higher eloquence. Curran was strong in the force of passion ; but the passion which fired his eloquence was ever mighty and indignant against cruelty and wrong. This it was which made him above most orators a master of denunciation, of invective, and of ridicule. For clemency and justice, he was bold and brave ; towards oppressors and tyrants he was scornful aiid licrcc.
He despised baseness as ho hated wrong. It is when this godly anger and this htiman symp...athy move him, that ho rises to those commanding passages of eloqucnco whi(;h are the genuine utterances of his greater nature. The supremo tasks of oratory which have made Curran historical, wore too gloomy for smiles — too replete with grief for laughter; and Curran was not the man to trifle with such tasks. He could not " bandy quirks, or think a deadly bloodshed but a jest," while his client stood face to face with mortal doom ; and that sympathetic humanity which gladdened the ban- quet could only be thoughtful and tragic in the ante- chamber of the scaffold.
