[essay by Probus, ending with:]
But through bare merit might in Rome appear
The strongest plea, for favour 'tis not there,
They form their judgment in another way; 
And he will best succeed, who best can pay.
Those who would gain the votes of British tribes,
Must add to force of merit, force of bribes.
