And Now... A Few Words For Republicans From Sir Walter Scott !!!

[WillyT]

“Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,

Who never to himself hath said

This is my own, my native land!

Whose heart hath ne’er within him burned

As home his footsteps he hath turned

From wandering on a foreign strand!

If such there breath, go, mark him well;

For him no Minstrel raptures swell;

High thought his titles, proud his name,

Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;

Despite those titles, power, and pelf,

The wretch, concentered all in self,

Living, shall forfeit fair renown,

And, doubly dying, shall go down

To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,

Unwept, unhonored, and unsung..



... from The Lay of the Last Minstrel


Just sounded so apropos!!!
