Where'er the jarring interests of StatesExcite the brave to' advance their native landBy deeds of arms, Britons are foremost found. The sprightly bands, hast'ning from place to place, Gayly carousing in their gay attire, Invite, not force the train of heedless youths, Who croud to share their jollity and joy:To martial music dancing into death, They fell their Freedom for a holiday;And with the Rich and Great 'tis Glory charms, And Beauty's favour that rewards the Brave. All the historic Record...s of the WorldAre little more than histories of Wars;Shewing how many thousands War destroy'd, The time, the place, and some few great ones' names. The mournful remnants of demolished States, The Greek, the Roman, and long-exil'd Jew;Are living monuments of wasting War'sAnnihilating power: and while they mournTheir Grandeur faded, and their Power extinct, To every State _memento mori_ sounds. From age to age the habitable WorldHas been a constant theatre of War:In every land with Nature's gifts most blest, Frequent and fatal Wars destructive rage.
