Encourage it to spread abroad,
Its fruit is health and flows from God.
And still ’midst danger’s gloom you’ll find
Your greatest strength in men of mind,
Where genius, culture, worth, combine
To flood the soul with light divine.
Whilst monsters dull, depraved, ingrate,
Disgrace the land, distract the State;
Base slaves of Mammon’s sordid pelf,
Strive, each, to aggrandize himself;
