His people and his country: with the sword,

Them and his own good name should he redeem.

Oh might I but behold him once again

Leading to battle these intrepid bands,

Such as he was, ... yea rising from his fall

More glorious, more beloved! Soon I believe

Joy would accomplish then what grief hath fail’d

To do with this old heart, and I should die

Clasping his knees with such intense delight,

That when I woke in Heaven, even Heaven itself
