    I do love
    My country's good with a respect more tender,
    More holy and profound, then mine own life,
    My dear wife's estimate, her womb increase,
    And treasure of my loins.

We, that would be known
The father of our people, in our study,
And vigilance for their safety, must not change
Their ploughshares into swords, and force them from
The secure shade of their own vines, to be

True patriots all; for be it understood
We left our country for our country's good.
No private views disgraced our generous zeal,
What urged our travels was our country's weal.
