Analysis of Of A Ministry Pitiful, Angry, Mean
Jane Austen 1775 (Steventon Rectory, Hampshire) – 1817 (Winchester, Hampshire)
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.
