My neighbour Gravelook to preserve his store
Bolts ev'ry window and locks ev'ry door,
And if a thief into his mansion breaks
And the least portion of his treasure takes;
. . . [10 lines]
But when his injur'd country claims his aid,
When foreign robbers would her rights invade,
When the drums beat, and trumpets sound to arms
And self defence each gen'rous bosom warms;
. . . [14 more lines]
