When Virtue rules--'tis Rapture to obey;
Man can but reign his transitory hour,
And love may bind--when fear has lost its pow'r.
Proud may he be who nobly acts his part,
Who boasts the empire of each subject's heart
,
Whose worth exulting millions shall approve,
Whose richest treasure--is a Nation's Love.
