Where near the portal's iron gate, With furies leagu'd, begirt with care, Ambition reigns in sceptred state, And wildly shakes her snaky hair.
Lo, from her ebon throne she speeds : Mounts, at a bound, her whirling car; To courage bends her sable steeds ; A Fury borne by Rage and War.
While all around her frantic crew, Foul midnight horrors widely stand, And smiling fraud in fairest hue j While Carnage lifts her gory brand.
Yet, as she wings her baneful flight.
On high she rears the golden prize... ; And thron'd in clouds of fairest light, With jewell' d sceptre lures the eyes.
Fierce as the whirlwind's rapid rage, She bursts the busy miser's rest ; Yet deigns to seek the needy stage, And wakes to arms a poorer breast.
I ON AMBITION. 137 Yon high-born chief, whose glorious name Has stopp'd the course of hostile arms ; Led by her hand, deserting fame, With guilty bosom courts alarms.
Fir*d at his call, the gathering throng, In flashing steel and dread array, With blazing banners sweep along, Mid trumpet's clang and charger's neigh.
