In ten degrees of more indulgent skies,
Nor at the coarseness of our heaven repine,
Though o’er our heads the frozen Pleiads shine:
‘Tis Liberty that crowns Britannia’s Isle,
And makes her barren rocks and her bleak mountains smile.”

Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.”

Will be dry and dead, home of the scorpion.”
