Thus I entered, and thus I go!
In
triumphs, people have dropped down dead.
“Paid by the world, what dost thou owe
Me?”—God
might question; now instead,
’Tis God shall repay: I am safer so.

Notes: “The Patriot”
is a hero’s story of the reward and punishment
dealt him for his services within one year. To
act regardless of praise or blame, save God’s,
seems safer.
