Inscrtion For An Altar Of Independence

inscription for an altar of independence

at kerroughtree, the seat of mr. heron.

thou of an indepe mind,

with soul resolv'd, with sn'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.
