Have kept their great original in view:

Patents they scorn, as modern innovation,

And here have humbly made a barn their station:

A barn!—in which though time has made a breach,

They cleave the general air with horrid speech.

"The wearied rustic now the flail suspends,

And the drum's thunder all the region rends;

Where erst the reapers sung their Harvest Home,

The martial trumpet echoes through the dome;

Remov'd, the chaff-dispersing, winnowing fly,
