If words were things – if man had dignity
Or any sense of virtue – Were he not
A miserable creature whose dull lot
Is to wear fetters – fancying he is free –
Delusions constant thing still to be –
So base that could his tyrants bind his thought
As they have bound him – he would bend the knee
And they might stamp him with that last, – word !
O were thee aught of wisdom or of truth
In the forsaken world – with what a power
Of self-exalting strength – would man arise!
Arise in all the generous Spirit of youth –
And scatter in the dust his enemies –
So tyranny should dread that glorious hour.
