Young Argyle; Or, Stanzas to Lethington Castle

Argyle, the state’s whole thunder born to wield, And shake alike the senate or the field.—POPE.

Nor less the palm of peace enwreathes thy brow; For, powerful as thy sword, from thy rich tongue Persuasion flows, and wins the high debate; While mix’d in thee combine the charm of youth, The force of manhood, and the depth of age.—THOMSON.
