Thus repuls'd, our final hope
Is flat despair: we must exasperate
Th' Almighty Victor to spend all his rage,
And that must end us, that must be our cure,
To be no more; sad cure; for who would loose,
Though full of pain, this intellectual being,
Those thoughts that wander through Eternity,
To perish rather,

In the wide womb of uncreated night, 150

revolution, was about thirty millions of dollars, which was
barely
sufficient
for our interior commerce, the foreign trade
being carried on by barter; and as the balance of our prin-
cipal trade was against us, and the specie was transferred
to meet that balance, no part of it entered into the home
circulation; and that it would have been impossible, by
loans and taxes, to bring such part of it into the public cof-

And there the wasps, that lodge them ill-concealed
In the vole's empty house, still drove afield
To plunder touchwood from old

And build their young ones their hutched nurseries;

Bristled
majestic from the teeth to tail,
And shook full fifty missiles from his hide,
But no heed took he; steadfastly he eyed,
And roared a roar, hoarse, vibrant, vengeful, dread,
A rolling, raging peal of wrath, which spread,
Making the half-awakened thunder cry,
"Who thunders there?

Bridling at nature's pure fruit, punish the knave in his hindparts,
Using the stake which so red rises there at your loins.

For born one
dwelling
deep;
To which, when years had mossed the stone,
Sir Roland brought his little son
To watch the funeral heap:

Without its limits, as in life it bore,
Because I to the end

That riseth up from heart which lives in grace.

Don't be fearful and lascivious
There's another cony I remember
With his four dromedaries
Sweet days, the mice of time,
I carry treasure in my mouth,
Look at this pestilential tribe
Work leads us to riches.
