\"\"<\/p>\n

Such dupes are men to custom, and so prone
\nTo reverence what is ancient, and can plead
\nA course of long observance for its use,
\nThat even servitude, the worst of ills,
\nBecause delivered down from sire to son,
\nIs kept and guarded as a sacred thing.
\nBut is it fit or can it bear the shock
\nOf rational discussion, that a man
\nCompounded and made up, like other men,
\nOf elements tumultuous, in whom lust
\nAnd folly in as ample measure meet,
\nAs in the bosom of the slave he rules,
\nShould be a despot absolute, and boast
\nHimself the only freeman of his land?<\/p>\n
