My country, sir, is not a single spot

Of such a mould, or fixed to such a clime;

No! ’tis the social circle of my friends,

The loved community in which I’m linked,

And in whose welfare all my wishes centre.

Whose heart has ne’er within him burned

As home his footsteps he hath turned

From wandering on a foreign strand?
