    <4 In vain would Envy, with her venal horde. Assail that name by distant climes ador’d, Or hellish Avarice, leagu’d with Death, obtain Her private interest from the public bane.— Ye sordid minds, to genuine worth unjust,— 115 / Roll in your native mire, and lick the dust. But know !—Vaccina claims a loftier fame. While God-like Patriots bless her darling name; And, as her friends with liberal ardour meet. To pour their bounteous offerings at her feet, 120 Britannia crowns the deed with just applause, And beams propitious on the glorious cause; A long-lov’d King his generous aid combines. And Truth, obscur’d in vain, triumphant shines.
