But you, O thrice ingenuous Queriſt, / Whom we by Sympathy love dearlieſt, / You are inſpir’d, there’s no doubt of ye / With Beef-Broth ſtrong, and potent Coffee!

Land of us all that have loved thee dearliest, / Mother of men that were lords of man, / Whose name in the world’s heart works as a spell, / My last song’s light, and the star of mine earliest, / As we turn from thee, sweet, who wast ours for a span, / Fare well we may not who say farewell.
