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.
