Compensation
this is not a character more repugnant to it could be more reticent to me to wear bear my feelings than that
of eating much and deserving earning little.
Though for Mr Pitt's lost place the Grand declaimer's lost forfeited exhibition I would could not condemn
myself to put on wear his schoolboy haughtiness —
Your Lordship has perhaps perceived —
though whatever be my pride
I am not without my pride though my inferiors those who have need of me
see feel no signs of it.[+] [+] Though my Convicts
if I had them would
be treated with more kindness
by and answered with
more punctuality than
Mr Long next had found for
me or Mr Pitt for
— Lord of the
) a Duke when
or a County
Member whom
he thought he could
scorn with safety
Notwithstanding all this, now I — obscure oppressed — deserte
impoverished neglected deserted as I am — were I Your Lordship
may have experienced indeed — am not without my pride: and
and degraded I must be in my own eyes —
been low indeed I must have sunk in my own eyes — before
I could submitt to myself with in the same
class or species of men — as or to be confounded in the estimate of whose who know me — Mr Rose, a Mr
Long, a Mr Baldwin or a Duke of Portland
What the Portugueze was to Mmlesquinas Spaniard men like these. My Lord, are to me: —
Solitude obscurity poverty – "every thing is acceptable
"to me that seems to distinguish me from you".
Thus then stands the matter about compensation –
was it possible we should agree? A sham compensation
I would not have – a real one they could not
give me if they would: but they never would have
given me so much as a sham one.
A burthen to my country I would not be made
I told them so from the first. But their only expedient
for disburthening themselves from shame, was by the making
me a burthen to the country – such a burthen as
themselves.
