And should have been most happy, – but I saw
Too far into the sea, where every maw
The greater on the less feeds evermore. –

Epistle to John Hamilton Reynolds (1818)

Still do I that most fierce destruction see, —
The Shark at savage prey — the hawk at pounce, —
The gentle Robin, like a Pard or Ounce,
Ravening a worm, —
