Doth not the dumbness of Pretenders prove

The land's possession by that cleansing fire,

Which purges patriot love from every low desire?

Sister in sorrow now, as once in arms,

Of old "fair enemy" on many a field,

In valiant days but blind, we will not yield

To any in that sympathy which warms

All generous hearts, or love of those gay charms

Nature and Genius gave you as your own

To wear, inimitable and alone;
