Nurtur'd in venal, sycophantic schools--
Eras'd each sterling virtue of the soul--
Debas'd--new coin'd in flattery's servile mint,
He may become a pander to a prince

Ah!--thus to see Don Juan's son enslaved,
Shocks more than death in its most frightful form.
O guard him, angels--guard him, powers supreme,
From the contagion of each vulgar vice,
Or the more splendid guilt that stalks in courts!--
