But if the gloomiest thoughts prevail,

And Atheist doctrines stain the tale;

If calumny to pow'r addrest,

Attempts to wound its Sovereign's breast;

If impious it shall try to part,

The Father from the Daughter's heart;

If it shall aim to wield a brand,

To fire our fair and native land;

If hatred for the world and men,

Shall dip in gall the ready pen:
