Note 49 — Chapter II
Reading edition
Shortly after, Dr. Hayter's portrait was published, with these lines beneath it:
"Not gentler virtues glow'd in Cambray's breast; Not more his young Telemachus was bless'd, Till envy, faction, and ambitious rage, Drove from the Court the pious sage; Back to his flock with transport he withdrew, And but one sigh—an honest one—he knew, 'O guard my royal pupil, Heaven,' he said, 'Let not his youth be like my age betray'd; I would have formed his footsteps in Thy way, But vice prevails, and impious men have sway."
