“England, a happy land we know, Where follies naturally grow, Where without culture they arise, And tow'r above the common size.”

The wise have not the will, nor fools the power, To stop her headstrong course; within the hour Left to herself, she dies; opposing strife Gives her fresh vigor, and prolongs her life.”
