  4. I hate that drum's discordant sound,Parading round, and round, and round:To thoughtless youth it pleasure yields,And lures from cities and from fields,To sell their liberty for charmsOf tawdry lace and glitt'ring arms;And when Ambition's voice commands,To march and fight and fall in foreign lands. I hate that drum's discordant sound,Parading round, and round, and round:To me it talks of ravaged plains,And burning towns and ruin'd swains,And mangled limbs, and dying groans,And widow's tears, and orphans moans,And all that Misery's hand bestows,To fill a catalogue of human woes.
