PATRIOTISM.
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who novel to himself hath said, This is my own, my native laud! Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd As home his footsteps he hath turn'd From wandering on a foreign strand? If such there be, go, mark him well; For him no minstrel raptures swell; lfigh though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power, and pelt, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To tho vilo dust from whence he Nprung, Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung. —Scott.-
