By faction tainted, and by envy steel'd
Against their youthful leader, they had hop'd
By these inglorious councils to degrade
And tarnish his high fame
; for Dathan there,
And, him beside, Abiram in the roll
Of Reuben's princes held their state, and sate
Darkling in close cabal; but vain their plots
And impotent their malice; calm contempt,
Disdaining answer, mark'd the hero's brow,
And when Elishama, whose fiery zeal
Ill brook'd their chilling argument, arose
Impatient to reply, with outstretcht hand
Imposing silence, thus the chieftain spake.
