Lucifr.-What are your politics.
Farmer II have none.
Luci(er.-Good.
Fdrmcr.-l have my thoughts, am no patty n
| care for measures more than men, but think
Some little may depend upon the men;
Something in fires depend upon the crate.
SiuQenL-As to religion, politics, law and war
But little may be said. Al are required,
And all are well enough. OF liberty,
And slavery, and tyranny, we hear
Much; but the human mind affects extremes
The heart is in middle of the system;
And all affections gather round the truth,
The moderated joys and woes Of life,
love my God, my country, kind and kin,
Nor would see dog wronged of his bone,
My country if Il wretch should ere arise,
Out of thy countless sons, who would curail,
Thy freedom, dim thy gIory,-whiIe he lives
May all carlh's people curse him. Of all
Hast thou secured the blessing and if one
Exists who would not arm for liberty,
Let him be buried downwards, with his face
Looking to He'll, and DER his coward grave
The hare skuk in her form.
