Freedom.

Freedom.
Freedom is obedience to righteous law
Framed for the guidance of a nation great:
Made to be kept-nOt broken by a flaw
Known only to the rulers of the State!
Justice that treats the rich and poor alike,
Defending each from favor and attack;
Slow to cOnvict-yet ready aye to strike
The fatal blow on all that honor lack!
nations strength is measured by her laws;
Her safety is the welfare of her sons.
Industry and loyalty the power that draws |
In peace her commerce, and in war her
Freedom-our birthright, sell it not for
Our fathers bought it with their blood of
