Independence
inscription for an altar of independence
at kerroughtree, the seat of mr. heron.
thou of an independent mind,
with soul resolv'd, with soul resign'd;
prepar'd power's proudest frown to brave,
who wilt not be, nor have a slave;
virtue alone who dost revere,
thy own reproach alone dost fear—
approach this shrine, and worship here.
