“Another Cleland see in Lewis rise.Why sleep the ministers of truth and law?Has the state no controul, no decent awe,While each with each in madd'ning orgies viePandars to lust and licens'd blasphemy?Can senates hear without a kindred rage?Oh may a poet's lightning blast the page,Nor with the bolt of Nemesis in vainSupply the laws, that wake not to restrain!”
