TALE ix.
You think, perhaps, I mean to treat Of Alfred, well surnam/d The Great ?
If so, your thoughts are wrong : Nor he nor Alexander is The subject of my song. By men, they were called heroes, both, Though I to hold them equal should be loth.
I hope, you would be mightily distressed, Could the mistake pervade my breast Of once comparing them together ? No ; that were much amiss.
02 148 I hold them different, as light and shade ; Or greater difference still, if greater can be made; For one ha...d all the heart could e'er contain Of monarch virtue, justly form/d to reign ! That godlike attribute, which should be king! And govern in its proper right.
The other no, his frenzies I'll forbear to sing ; They never could my heart delight : Except, I take the liberty to say, After a madman's whims he ran, That led his greatness mightily astray, And made him arrogant, and proud, and vain As peacock in full feather.
