Child of my muse! in Barbour's gentle hand Go cross the main: thou seek'st no foreign land: 'Tis not the clod beneath our feet we name Our country. Each heaven-sanctioned tie the same, Laws, manners, language, faith, ancestral blood, Domestic honour, awe of womanhood: -- With kindling pride thou wilt rejoice to see Britain with elbow-room and doubly free!
