On Scotchmen and Their Country

Indians assert that wheresoe’er they roam,
If slain they reach again their native home.
If every nation held this maxim right,
Not English bread would make a Scotchman fight.

	“Had Cain been Scot, God would have changed his doom;
	Not forced him wander, but compell’d him home.” On Scotland]
