SECT.II.
Of the Nature of Civil Liberty.
TO some it will doubtless appear a superfluous Labour, to fix the true Idea of civil Liberty, in a Country which boasts itself free. ​Yet the Writer esteems it a necessary though obvious Task: Not only that he may appeal to his Idea of it, thus established; but also, because in the Conduct (at least) if not in the Writings of his Countrymen, it seems to have been sometimes mistaken.
The natural Liberty of Man, considered merely as a solitary and savage Individual, would generally lead him to a full and unbounded Prosecution of all his Appetites. Some Savages there are, though few, who live nearly, if not altogether, in this brutal State of Nature.
These last Expressions, it must be confessed, are inadequate to their Subject: For such a State of Man is worse than that of Brutes, and in the strict Sense, is also contrary to Nature. For Brutes are endowed with unerring Instincts, which Man possesseth not: Therefore such a solitary and wretched State is strictly unnatural; because it prevents the Exertion of those Powers, which his Nature is capable of ​attaining: But those Powers Society alone can call forth into Action.
Man is therefore formed for Society: That is, Man is formed for Intercourse with Man: Hence, through the natural Developement of the human Powers, a Variety of new Wants, a Necessity for mutual Aids and distinct Properties, must arise: From these, a new Accession, as well as a frequent Disagreement and Clashing of Desires must inevitably ensue. Hence the Necessity of curbing and fixing the Desires of Man in the social State; by such equal Laws, as may compel the Appetites of each Individual to yield to the common Good of all.
From this salutary Restraint, civil Liberty is derived. Every natural Desire which might in any Respect be inconsistent with the general Weal, is given up as a voluntary Tax, paid for the higher, more lasting, and more important Benefits, which we reap from social Life.

SECT.XXIII.
Of the most effectual Means of checking the Growth of Licentiousness and Faction.
THUS the Writer hath endeavoured to lay open the Foundations and Characters of Licentiousness and Faction: He now proceeds to consider the most effectual Means of checking them in their Progress; of restoring internal Unanimity; and securing public Freedom.
In every national Malady of this Nature, there are two Kinds of Remedies essentially distinct: The one is palliative, and temporary; the other is radical, and lasting.
The palliative Remedies ought to be first apply'd; because it will appear, that they are the only Means by which we can come at Those which are radical.
'Tis evident, then, that the first Advance towards a Cure of this national ​Evil must arise from the steady Conduct of the Prince. For Faction, unopposed, and led on by the higher Ranks, will never cease in its Demands, till it terminates in the Possession of an unbounded aristocratic Power: This is a Power, which nothing but the Courage and Steadiness of the Prince can possibly contend with: Because the final Object of such a Faction will always be, "Those high and lucrative Offices of State, which are in His sole Disposal."
If a Sovereign once gives Way to the Storms in which such a Faction will involve him, his Peace and Freedom, together with Those of his People, are inevitably destroyed. On the contrary, if amidst all the Tumults of Sedition, he discovers an unalterable Firmness and Fortitude, founded in upright Intentions and real Virtue; the Rage of hopeless Faction will by Degrees subside; and a Prospect of better Times will open upon Him and his People. This general Truth might ​be commented on: But at present, the Writer can with Satisfaction leave it to the impartial Public, to find a more instructive and Living Comment.

SECT.XIX.
A fourth Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
THE Patrons of Faction would endeavour to delude and inflame an ignorant and licentious Populace against their legal Governors."
A blind and unprincipled Populace have ever been the most effectual Engines of Sedition: And above all, Those of the ​Capital, being near to the grand Scene of political Contention, must ever be a ready and dangerous Engine in the Hands of Licentiousness and Faction.
But in a Nation like this, to make the Populace of the Capital a more successful Instrument of Sedition, a Degree of Art would be necessary. For it appears above, that the People of this Kingdom, and the Populace of its Cities, are of a Character essentially opposite to each other: That the one is collectively knowing and upright; the other, collectively ignorant and immoral.—The first Step, therefore, that Faction would take, as the surest Method for Success, would be to confound the one with the other; and dignify "the Clamour of the Populace," by stiling it "the Voice of the People."
The Fury of such a Populace, thus awakened by Vanity, Vice, and Ignorance, would arise in a Variety of Shapes.
​If an Order of the Senate should be given for the Burning of a Paper legally declared seditious; such a Populace would be incited to rescue it from the Fire: And they who had thus incited them would boast, that it was rescued by the Hands of "the People."
Every talking Demagogue, who should oppose the Measures of Government, would be artfully and indiscriminately obtruded on such an ignorant Populace, as a Patriot or a Heroe. And They who had thus obtruded him would boast, that he was the Favourite of "the People."
Every distinguished Friend to the Measures of Government would be artfully obtruded on such a Populace, as the Enemy of his Country: And They who had thus obtruded him would boast, that he was the Detestation of "the People."
Every Act of the Legislature, which contradicted the Passions or partial Interests of such a Populace or their Leaders, would be branded by them, as arbitrary ​and oppressive: And they would boast, that it was branded by the Voice of "the People."
If daily or periodical Papers of Intelligence were circulated from the Capital through the Nation, and These were open to the Admission of every Thing which private Pique, Passion, or Interest, might suggest; they would of Course become the general Repositories of popular Slander: And as Malice is always more eager to accuse, than injured Innocence to defend, these Slanders would often seem to preponderate in the public Ear: And hence, would be boasted by Those who raised them, as the prevailing Voice of "the People."
Thus, hatched by Licentiousness, Faction would attain to its enormous Growth: The unprincipled among the Great would form the Head, the unprincipled among the Populace would form the Body, of this rapacious Monster.

SECT.XXII.
Some Objectious obviated.
SHOULD it be objected to the Writer, that while he blames the Practice in others He indiscriminately characterizeth whole Bodies of Men who dissent from public Measures; he would reply, that the Accusation is groundless: For he hath expressly distinguished Those who dissent on Principles of Liberty, from such as ​dissent on Motives of Licentiousness and Faction.
Should it be objected, that he hath attacked even private Characters, in the Way of indirect Description: This Accusation would be equally ill-founded. For all personal Peculiarities are avoided, save only the single Facts alluded to, as the Proofs of his Allegations: These were essentially necessary for the Support of the Argument; and relate not to private Life, but to public and political Conduct.
Should it be objected, that he hath indirectly censured Those, whose Conduct he had formerly applauded: He replies, that he never was attached to Men, but Measures.
Should it be objected, that some of these characteristic Marks may seem to involve Men of good Morals in private Life: He would reply, that the Affections of good Men in private Life may not always extend to the Public.
​Should it be objected, that some of these characteristic Marks may seem to involve Men, who have been eminently serviceable to their Country in public Stations: He would reply, that He ever hath been, and ever will be proud to do Justice to Merit, when exercised in any public Station.
Should it be objected, that he questions the Conduct of Those only who are now out of Power: He would reply, that he formerly questioned their Conduct with the same Freedom, when in the Fulness of their Power: And that his Reasons in both Instances were the same; because in both Instances he judged their general Conduct to be essentially ill-founded, narrow, selfish, reprehensible.
# Thoughts on civil liberty, on licentiousness, and faction/Section 18

SECT.XVIII.
A third Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
THE Patrons of Faction would be self-contradictory and inconsistent, not only on different, but on parallel Occasions."
Thus, if the Exercise of a Privilege should be quietly allowed to one Officer of State, and by the same Persons should be clamoured against in his Successor: The Persons thus acquiescing and clamouring by Turns, would stand convicted of a self-contradictory and inconsistent Conduct: And without deciding on the Propriety or Impropriety of the Privilege in Question, would carry upon them a clear Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
Again, if a certain Mode of political Influence on Dependents was generally exercised among all the Ranks of a free Country:—If the same Persons already ​characterized, should now condemn This as a despotic Measure in the Servants of the Crown, which They themselves formerly exercised when in Power, and still continue to exercise towards their private Dependents:—These Gentlemen would betray a very notable Inconsistence in their Conduct: And therefore, without any Decision on the Rectitude of such a general Practice, would stand convicted of an undeniable Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
# Thoughts on civil liberty, on licentiousness, and faction/Section 21

SECT.XXI.
A sixth Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
THE Abettors and Instruments of Faction would promiscuously calumniate the private Characters of the principal individuals of the opposing Party."
It was the just Observation of an ancient Writer, that "the Wicked is an Abomination to the Righteous, and the Righteous an Abomination to the Wicked."—Yet the Measures which these two Parties take, in their Treatment of each other, are essentially different.—The good Man never maliciously stabs the Reputation of his Neighbour: The wicked Man, ​on the contrary, delights in this most practicable, but most atrocious of all Mischiefs.—Invenomed Hints, ambiguous Imputations, private Crimes darkly alledged, but void of all Foundation:—These are the deadly Weapons of the abandoned but cunning Defamer.
Here then is a secure and ample Field for every profligate Minister of Faction: Here "he tosseth about Arrows, Firebrands, and Death; and cries, am I not in Sport?"
If a Prince, whose Words and Actions might justly be given, as an Example of Integrity to all his Subjects, should be ambiguously accused of such Things as his Honour would abhor:—
If such a Prince should be indirectly charged with Ignorance, for not distinguishing in a Point of Law, which even some of the ablest Lawyers in his Kingdom had not attended to:—
If neither the Virtues nor the Condescension of a Queen could protect her ​from the Insults of Those whom she had never injured:—
If any other Branch of a royal Family should be basely traduced, by the grossest and most audacious Calumnies, studiously contrived to inflame an ignorant and unbridled Populace:—
If the Servants of the Crown, and Members of the Legislature, who had legally exerted themselves in Defence of their injured Sovereign, should in their private Character be impudently vilify'd, misrepresented, and abused; and even their unoffending Families traduced with study'd and unexampled Virulence:—
If neither Age nor Virtue should be a Security against the Arrows of public Calumny:—If a Man of the most distinguished Worth in private Life, a known and zealous Friend of public Liberty, one of the Ornaments of his Age and Country, should be overwhelmed by a Load of the most unprovoked and malicious Slander; merely because he had dared to ​assert his own Right of private Judgment, in Opposition to the Opinion of another:—
If these Outrages should be publicly committed by some; and winked at or countenanced, or patronized by others;—surely, all honest Men ought to joyn, in declaring their Abhorrence of such atrocious Acts of Licentiousness and Faction, perpetrated in Defiance of All Laws, both human and divine.
# Thoughts on civil liberty, on licentiousness, and faction/Section 20

SECT.XX.
A fifth Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
THE Abettors of Faction would throw injurious and undistinguishing Imputations on every Body of Men who differed from them in Opinion."
Having thus gained an ignorant and licentious Populace, as the Trumpets of Sedition; the Patrons of Faction would leave no Means untry'd to load their Adversaries with the most envenomed Calumny.
Thus if any mistaken Principle had formerly been maintained, but was now generally forsaken and derided; a Faction could not be detected by any clearer Mark, than by its Attempt to conjure up the Ghost of this departed Principle, in order to alarm and terrify not only the Populace, but the People.
​If on This Pretence, any Men should attempt to revive Animosities which Time had bury'd;—should attempt to divide and distract the Subjects of an united Kingdom, whose common Welfare depended on their Union;—should revile all Men without Distinction, who were born in a certain District; and indiscriminately endeavour to exclude them from a Participation of those public Trusts, Honours, and Emoluments, to which, with the rest of their Fellow-Subjects, they might stand intitled by their Capacity or Virtue:—Who would not discover, in this unequal Conduct, a clear and distinctive Mark of Licentiousness and Faction?
Again: If ever there had been a Time, when All who presumed to dissent in any Degree from those in Power, were indiscriminately and unjustly branded with the Name of Jacobite or Tory;—and if These very Men who had bestowed such Appellations should now deal them as freely round, on All who assent to Those ​in Power:—This were surely a clear Indication, that the Spirit of Faction were abroad.
But if, in the Course of political Revolutions, some of these Men's former Adherents should now be their Adversaries; and some former Adversaries should now be their Adherents; another characteristic Circumstance would arise: For Those whom they had once reviled, they would now applaud, as being the Friends of Liberty; and Those whom they had formerly applauded, they would now revile, as having become Jacobites or Tories.—Such a Conduct, and such Names thus arbitrarily imposed, however speciously coloured over by the Pretence and Cry of Liberty, might seem to stand, with all impartial Judges, as a clear Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
The Views of such Men would be still more apparent, should they insinuate, that the Prince received Those very Men as his Ministers and Favourites, whose Principles ​tended to the Subversion of his Throne and Family. This Insinuation, indeed, would not so much merit Detestation, as Contempt and Ridicule.

# Tristram of Lyonesse and Other Poems/Adieux à Marie Stuart

ADIEUX À MARIE STUART.
I.
With hopes that rose and fell, Red star of boyhood's fiery thought, Farewell
They gave their lives, and I, my queen, Have given you of my life, Seeing your brave star burn high between Men's strife.
The strife that lightened round their spears Long since fell still: so long Hardly may hope to last in years My song.
But still through strife of time and thought Your light on me too fell: Queen, in whose name we sang or fought, Farewell.
II.
Wherethrough the north blasts blow But keeps your memory as a warder His beacon-fire aglow.
Long since it fired with love and wonder Mine, for whose April age Blithe midsummer made banquet under The shade of Hermitage.
Soft sang the burn's blithe notes, that gather Strength to ring true: And air and trees and sun and heather Remembered you.
Old border ghosts of fight or fairy Or love or teen, These they forgot, remembering Mary The Queen.
III.
Whose sires brought forth for you Their lives to strew your way like flowers, Adieu.
Dead is full many a dead man's name Who died for you this long Time past: shall this too fare the same, My song?
But surely, though it die or live, Your face was worth All that a man may think to give On earth.
No darkness cast of years between Can darken you: Man’s love will never bid my queen Adieu.
IV.
As music round the shell: No heart can take of you a tame Farewell.
Yet, when your very face was seen, Ill gifts were yours for giving: Love gat strange guerdons of my queen When living.
O diamond heart unflawed and clear, The whole world’s crowning jewel! Was ever heart so deadly dear So cruel?
Yet none for you of all that bled Grudged once one drop that fell: Not one to life reluctant said Farewell.
V.
Who mock with praise your name, To leave a head so rare and royal Too low for praise or blame.
You could not love nor hate, they tell us, You had nor sense nor sting: In God's name, then, what plague befell us To fight for such a thing?
'Some faults the gods will give' to fetter Man's highest intent: But surely you were something better Than innocent!
No maid that strays with steps unwary Through snares unseen, But one to live and die for; Mary, The Queen.
VI.
Your fame with praise of you: Then love may say, and falter not Adieu.
Yet some you hardly would forgive Who did you much less wrong Once: but resentment should not live Too long.
They never saw your lip's bright bow, Your swordbright eyes, The bluest of heavenly things below The skies.
Clear eyes that love's self finds most like A swordblade's blue, A swordblade's ever keen to strike, Adieu.
VII.
That yet make up your spell, To bid you were to bid the light Farewell.
Farewell the song says only, being A star whose race is run: Farewell the soul says never, seeing The sun.
Yet, wellnigh as with flash of tears, The song must say but so That took your praise up twenty years Ago.
More bright than stars or moons that vary, Sun kindling heaven and hell, Here, after all these years, Queen Mary, Farewell.
# Tristram of Lyonesse and Other Poems/After Sunset

AFTER SUNSET.
'Si quis piorum Manibus locus.'
I.
A sweet strong wind blows, glad of life: and I, Under the soft keen stardawn whence the sky Takes life renewed, and all night’s godlike breast Palpitates, gradually revealed at rest By growth and change of ardours felt on high, Make onward, till the last flame fall and die And all the world by night’s broad hand lie blest. Haply, meseems, as from that edge of death, Whereon the day lies dark, a brightening breath Blows more of benediction than the morn, So from the graves whereon grief gazing saith That half our heart of life there lies forlorn May light or breath at least of hope be born.
II.
Now, while the cloud-enshrouded corpse of day Is lowered along a red funereal way Down to the dark that knows not white from red, A clear sheer breeze against the night makes head, Serene, but sure of life as ere a ray Springs, or the dusk of dawn knows red from grey, Being as a soul that knows not quick from dead. From far beyond the sunset, far above, Full toward the starry soundless east it blows Bright as a child’s breath breathing on a rose, Smooth to the sense as plume of any dove; Till more and more as darkness grows and glows Silence and night seem likest life and love.
III.
That men call death and end of all things, then How should not that which life held best for men And proved most precious, though it seem undone By force of death and woful victory won, Be first and surest of revival, when Death shall bow down to life arisen again? So shall the soul seen be the self-same one That looked and spake with even such lips and eyes As love shall doubt not then to recognise, And all bright thoughts and smiles of all time past Revive, transfigured, but in spirit and sense None other than we knew, for evidence That love's last mortal word was not his last.

Mother whose womb brought forth our man of men, Mother of Shakespeare, whom all time acclaims Queen therefore, sovereign queen of English dames, Throned higher than sat thy sonless empress then, Was it thy son’s young passion-guided pen Which drew, reflected from encircling flames, A figure marked by the earlier of thy names Wife, and from all her wedded kinswomen Marked by the sign of murderess? Pale and great, Great in her grief and sin, but in her death And anguish of her penitential breath Greater than all her sin or sin-born fate, She stands, the holocaust of dark desire, Clothed round with song for ever as with fire.
