ODE on LIBERTY.
„A 1' PY's the man, who unconftram'd
11 Obeys but nature's equal laws ;
Who fears no power, by might maintain'd,
And boldly vindicates his country's cause.
-crime's attacks, secure he braves;
; ^E epar'd for any chance;
Rlnc Durable at her frowns, but slaves;
A. rd fears their abject hopes enhance.
: fteps, uncurb'd by dread,
r om chme .0 clime can freely roam:
fb goes where choice, or fortune lead,
freedom his guide ; and aH the world his home.
Confeious @f worth, his generous foul,
To stoop to lawless power disdains:
No threats or force his thoughts controul,
Jle e'en enjoys his liberty in chains.
