    From distant climes, o'er wide-spread seas we come,
    Though not with much eclat or beat of drum;
    True patriots all; for be it understood
    We left our country for our country's good.
    No private views disgraced our generous zeal,
    What urged our travels was our country's weal.

And treasure of my loins.
