When present dissensions shall wake thy disgust,
When shy children, as rivals, shall strive, not as foemen,
Thou too shalt be worthy of guarding such dust.

Erpairiug tby slights, and repenting tby wrong;
And Albion, subdued by thy sadness, surrender

His memory embalmed in the Patriot's thought—
The Patriot who blushes bis genius to mention,
While bitterly conscious how vainly it taught.
