Here too, in long captivity remain
The hardy warrior, and the nobly brave,
Who dar’d their Country’s battles to sustain
Their honor’d Country’s Liberty to save
But oh! despise not their ignoble toil,
Their loss of Liberty and Life obscure,
Nor proudly hear with a disdainful smile
The dull complaint of the imprison’d poor.
On those who boast of Heraldry and Pow’r
Or all that Pomp and sordid wealth e’er gave,
