I am no flatterer⁠—you’ve supped full of flattery:

They say you like it too⁠—’tis no great wonder.

He whose whole life has been assault and battery,

At last may get a little tired of thunder;

And swallowing eulogy much more than satire, he

May like being praised for every lucky blunder,

Called “Saviour of the Nations”⁠—not yet saved⁠—

And “Europe’s Liberator”⁠—still enslaved.
