Our empire stable, and our state secure;

Our dress, our diet, for their use describe,

And bid them haste to join the gen'rous tribe:

Go to thy world, and leave us here to dwell,

200

Who to its joys and comforts bid farewell."

Farewell to these; but other scenes I view,

And other griefs, and guilt of deeper hue;

Where conscience gives to outward ills her pain,

Gloom to the night, and pressure to the chain.
