    Behold him in conceited circles sail,
    Strutting and dancing and now planted stiff,
    In all his pomp of pageantry, as if
    He felt the eyes of Europe on his tail.

Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering teach the rest to sneer;
Willing read more

Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering teach the rest to sneer;
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike,
Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike;
Alike reserv'd to blame, or to commend,
A tim'rous foe, and a suspicious friend.
