From Cornwall to Northumberland,

Through many a fair countée;

Yet England’s Church, its King, its laws,

Its cause I value not,

Compar’d with this, my constant text—

A penny sav’d, is got.

No drop of Princely Percy’s blood

Through these cold veins doth run;

With Hotspur’s castles, blazon, name,

I still am poor Smithson.
