O Freedom, First Delight Of Human Kind!

Calms Appear, When Storms Are Past; Love Will Have His Hour At Last: Nature Is My Kindly Care; Mars Destroys, And I Repair; Take Me, Take Me, While You May, Venus Comes Not Ev'ry Day.

Fortune's Unjust; She Ruins Oft The Brave, And Him Who Should Be Victor, Makes The Slave.

Either Be Wholly Slaves Or Wholly Free.

Bankrupt Of Life, Yet Prodigal Of Ease.

For What Can Power Give More Than Food And Drink, To Live At Ease, And Not Be Bound To Think?
