  1. Why mayn't my muse a glorious toil pursue,
  2. And as much honour to my country do ?
  3. A people, who, when Rome has been alarm'd
  4. By foreign foes, in her defence have arm'd;
  5. Beneath your golden banners I have fought
  6. So long, your discipline so much have taught,
  7. 'Tis time to give me a discharge, to prove
  8. Some other, some more glorious theme than love
