"Plunderers of the world, having exhausted their lands with insatiable looting, they range across the seas.

The wealth of another country excites their greed; and if it is weak, their lust for power. Nothing from the rising to the setting of the sun is enough to satisfy them. Among all others only they are compelled to take from the poor as well as the rich. To robbery, outrage, and slaughter they give the lying name of freedom; and where they make a desert, they call it peace."
