4 The exertion of successful virtue in conducting an high-spirited & jealous people nation onwards to
it's their happiness, is 3 the 1 most 2 &c refined & exquisite of all pleasures delights; + + I appeal to &c a delight which may compare a faint emblem of which is that viz: of human Nature is susceptible
tis that felt by the angler which the expert angler feels, at the instant when some a vigorous ponderous & wily lusty fish inhabitant of the water
subdued after a long many a rude struggle by the perseverance strength & suppleness of his arm, suffers itself to be wafted to the
Shore:
Should he meet with a resistance too powerful to master that he cannot master, he will let go a part of his Tackle, & not suffer himself by his obstinacy to be pulled headlong into the Gulph.
[while the .... of] a prostrate & broken-hearted people multitude [who, too happy
if they have their vegetation only now & then disturbed to be only now & then interrupted in their vegetation by the blasts of tyranny
or & the whirlwinds of caprice, follow obey with unresisting indifference listness obsequiousness the every sudden impulse] [of a
sudden movement that is impressed upon them,] are like a puny Minnow, fit only for the prey of Children yielding itself
a contemptible prey to the hook of the sated Sportsman. Thus is it the Glory of Politicians to be fishers of Men. facility takes away all
value from the conquest; no patience exercised, no powers display'd, no virtue fortified bright
by the test by the Trial. Such, Despotism, are thy triumphs! puppets )( Men Number relaxation list before & languor
