Too oft the sculptor's art has snatch'd from dust, And on the medal stamp'd a guilty bust; With abject skill a statesman's name engrav'd, Deck'd with the symbols of some realm enslav'd, Some fetter'd nation he had help'd to bind, Some succour lent to subjugate mankind: Not such the tribute, Canning, paid to thee The pure, spontaneous homage of the free.
