"The pomps of Courts and pride of kings
I fain would banish far from hence.
I prize above all earthly things;
The 'Rights of Men' and 'Common Sense'.

That foe to princes, Thomas Paine.
The Royal banners are displayed,
Defeat and ruin seize the cause.
And may success the standard aid
Of France, its liberties and laws."
