Página 78 - Basks in the glare, or stems the tepid wave, And thanks his gods for all the good they gave . Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we roam; His first, best country, ever is at home; And yet, perhaps, if countries we compare, And estimate the blessings which they share, Though patriots flatter, still shall wisdom find An equal portion dealt to all mankind: As different good, by art or nature given, To different nations makes their blessings even.
