    Of A Ministry Pitiful, Angry, Mean

    Uploaded by

    Paul.S.M.
    This poem describes an unjust reprimand of a commander for his military successes. The commander is condemned for qualities like promptness and vigor that led to his victories. The speaker wishes the commander's enemies could suffer the same injustice, to experience being condemned for doing right through prompt and vigorous action, as the commander has. However, the enemies will never experience such injustice as they never act rightly to begin with.

    Of A Ministry Pitiful, Angry, Mean Of a Ministry pitiful, angry, mean, A gallant commander the victim is seen.

    For promptitude, vigour, success, does he stand Condemn'd to receive a severe reprimand! To his foes I could wish a resemblance in fate: That they, too, may suffer themselves, soon or late, The injustice they warrent. But vain is my spite They cannot so suffer who never do right. Jane Austen
