That join the politics of trade and war,

Bearing the palm in either; they appear

Better exemplars; and that hardy crew

Who, on the frozen beach of Newfoundland,

Hang their white fish amid the parching winds;

The kindly fleece, in webs of Duffield woof,

Their limbs, benumb’d, infold with cheerly warmth;

And frieze of Cambria, worn by those who seek

Through gulfs and dales of Hudson’s winding bay

The beaver’s fur, though oft they seek in vain;
