Chorus
†But ancient Arrogance, or soon or late,
When strikes the hour ordained by Fate,
Breedeth new Arrogance, which still
Revels, wild wantoner in human ill;
And the new birth another brood
Unhallowed, in the house doth bear ;—
Gorged Insolence, and, not to be withstood,
Defiant Boldness, demon unsubdued ;—
Swart curses twain, their parents' mien that wear.
