Shame on thee scorner fraid one! Shame on thee scorner!
Mocker of England! Thou who wast born
Born to adore her – born to adorn her –
Darest thou pour on her vials of scorn?
We might have honored thee, we might have lov'd thee
Smiled on the laurels which circled thy brow
Virtue itself might have from never reprov'd thee –
Virtue looks down on thee mournfully now.
Thinkst thou we love deem thee so great as to bear thee
Ever about in the with our hearts of our for thy shrine
No! from our thoughts from our memories we'll tear thee
Rather than pardon such insults as thine.
If thou have honor – thy country conferred it
If thou have glory – it sprung forth from her –
If thou hadst praise – 'twas here – if thou heard it
Praise which thy country was proud to confer
