The duke of Ormond possessed both the confidence and esteem of his master. He deserved it not only by his great services but by the splendour of his birth and of his merit, and by the great sacrifices which he had made to follow the fortunes of Charles II. Even courtiers dared not to murmur when they saw him steward of the royal household, first gentleman of the bedchamber, and Viceroy of Ireland. | |
