In vain are we loyal patriots, sometimes superloyal; in vain do we make the same sacrifices of life and property as our fellow citizens; in vain do we strive to enhance the fame of our native lands in the arts and sciences, or her wealth by trade and commerce.
In vain we are loyal patriots, sometimes overly so; in vain do we make similar sacrifices of life and property as our fellow citizens; in vain do we strive to elevate the fame of our native lands through arts and sciences or increase its wealth via trade and commerce.
