Answer:
Patriotism is written by poet Sir Walter Scott who has described the nature of unpatriotic person who only loves his money and power. So his death is doubly death; physical death and death of his soul. This is because he is unpatriotic to his native land where he is born an that country only gave him that much power and wisdom but he is not utilizing it properly. He is wandering in foreign strand and collecting the boundless money. However, according to the poem it is worthless. No one will sing for him if he comes in a higher post and because he does not have any felling of patriotism. He will be happy because of his post and hard work but no one else will. He is a wretch; a miserable person concentrated all in himself.
He always looks towards himself but no one else. According to the poem, he is like a dog that does not have any feeling of love towards his motherland and any other than himself. Therefore, his soul is dead. He is living but his heart is not buried in his body. When he returns home, his money and power lures him and he strives to return to the same place for his power and riches. When he dies, he will go to the useless dust from where he was born and upon his death; no one will sing for him, no one will honor him. In addition, from this poem we can get a moral that we have to die for the same country, our motherland that gave us our life. We should really have respect and love to our native country no matter what the costs may be. Then only will our soul die in peace and in honour. We will be sung upon our death and will always be remembered.
