Poem by Robert Craggs, Earl Nugent


Epigram 12. WE thought you without titles great


WE thought you without titles great,
And wealthy with a small estate;
While by your humble self alone,
You seem unrated and unknown.
But now on fortune's swelling tide
High-borne, in all the pomp of pride;
Of grandeur vain and fond of pelf,
'Tis plain, my lord, you knew yourself.



Robert Craggs, Earl Nugent
