John Leyden

“ And glows, a passion in the free and brave;
It gives the vile to bear a tyrant's thrall,
No wrongs can rouse them, for no chains can gall:
But to the brave, no charms a clime can boast,
Where virtue or where liberty is lost. ”

“ O'er patriot zeal, when rose ambition's lust,
And jealous justice sunk to mean distrust;
Dragged by vile lictors, where the forum raved,
When heroes bled by villains whom they saved:
Then, with the herd, the muse condemned, or praised,
And courts destroyed those arts that senates raised. 50
Albania's sons, may these examples teach,
How far the bounds of real freedom reach:
Teach them with equal vigour to engage
A faction's fury, as a tyrant's rage. ”
