Excerpt from Invasion: A Descriptive Satirical Poem

Perhaps there never was a stronger instance of unanimity in a nation, than this threatened invasion has given rise to: it has awakened the energies and de veloped the genius of our isle; it has eclipsed the parade of our enemies; it has strengthened our confidence in our selves. The few solitary instances of ih dividual depravity and intellectual de basement, discover the ardour which prevails in all ranks, by the abhorrence they excite; and will remain a corispi cuous remembrancer of the degree to which the force of prejudice can arise.
