Anthony Findlay + 

Both for the country and for the man, + 

And for a country as well as a man, + 

’Tis better to be feared than loved. + 

And if this country would rather part + 

With the friendship of every nation + 

Than surrender its wealth, + 

I say of a man ’tis worse to lose + 

Money than friends. + 

And I rend the curtain that hides the soul + 

Of an ancient aspiration: + 

When the people clamor for freedom + 

They really seek for power o’er the strong. + 

I, Anthony Findlay, rising to greatness + 

From a humble water carrier, + 

Until I could say to thousands “Come,” + 

And say to thousands “Go,” + 

Affirm that a nation can never be good, + 

Or achieve the good, + 

Where the strong and the wise have not the rod + 

To use on the dull and weak. + 
