| And for a country as well as a man | A |
| 'Tis better to be feared than loved | B |
| And if this country would rather part | C |
| With the friendship of every nation | D |
| Than surrender its wealth | E |

| Where the strong and the wise have not the rod | O |
| To use on the dull and weak | P |
