The brave good husband, and his faithful wife, Revere the sacred charities of life; And bid their children, like their sires of old, Firm, honest, upright, for their country bold, Here, where "Rome's eagles found unvanquished foes," The Gallic vulture fearlessly oppose, Chace from this favoured isle, with baffled wing, Bless'd in its good old laws, old manners, and old King.
