Ere The Blabbing Eastern Scout,

From Restless Thoughts, That, Like A Deadly Swarm Of Hornets Arm'd, No Sooner Found Alone, But Rush Upon Me Thronging.

Calm Of Mind, All Passion Spent.

Enflamed With The Study Of Learning And The Admiration Of Virtue; Stirred Up With High Hopes Of Living To Be Brave Men And Worthy Patriots, Dear To God, And Famous To All Ages.

Still Paying, Still To Owe. Eternal Woe!

To Live A Life Half Dead, A Living Death.
