Take my leaves America， take them South and take them

North，

Make welcome for them everywhere， for they are your own

offspring，

Surround them East and West， for they would surround you，

And you precedents， connect lovingly with them， for they

connect lovingly with you.

I conn'd old times，

I sat studying at the feet of the great masters，

Now if eligible O that the great masters might return and

study me.

In the name of these States shall I scorn the antique？

Why these are the children of the antique to justify it.
