As though there were a tie And obligation to posterity. We get them, bear them, breed, and nurse: What has posterity done for us. That we, lest they their rights should lose, Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?

While briskly to each patriot lip Walks eager round the inspiring flip Delicious draught, whose pow'rs inherit The quintessence of public spirit!
