What is the summary of the patriotism written by sir Walter Scott?

Answer 1

Some where in the country lives a man with his soul and conscience so dead, who has never in his life, not even once said to his own country that this is his own, his native land. His heart has never burnt within himself while his footsteps are returning to his home from a long wandering foreign strand. If such a man exist, then we should mark him well. There should be no minstrel raptures; songs of an expression of excessive delight some by a wondering poet and musician; to be sung on his account. Though he may be proud of his name and earn high titles of fame and position, his wealth is boundless as anyone may wish to claim, yet inspite of those high titles, unlimited power and pelf; money wealth often implying ill-gotten gains-affluence, fortune, funds,opulence,riches; this wretched soul concentrated all in himself. Ultimately, he shall forfeit his fair renown living, and die twice; body and soul; before he goes down to the vile dust from where he orginally sprung up, with no others tears to weep for him, no one to honour him and no one to sing praises of him.
