27 March 1802
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 last 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 ever 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
Though throughout
a seven year experience
of shuffling and provocation
and fraud and perfidy
and all those incontestable
by which was power
rendered despicable
could preserve
travel could preserve a trip
without a single
paying without
a single default that
instance of departure to want of respect which
within the so the
perquisite of office annexed
to that of respect
attached
to office — suffering
Honourable gentlemen
to not unwilling at the
same time that Honourable
Gentlemen should
understand see it was to office they
were indebted for it
Notwithstanding all this, now I — obscure oppressed — deserte
impoverished neglected deserted as I am were I Your Lordship
may have experienced — am not without my pride: and
born low indeed and degraded I must have sunk in my own eyes — I must be 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 — a 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 to 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.
