Poem by William Cowper
But there is a liberty, unsung
By poets and by senators unpraised
Which monarchs cannot grant, nor all the powers
Of earth and hell confederate take away
A liberty which persecution, fraud,
Oppression, prisons, have no power to bind
Which whoso tastes can be enslaved no more
'Tis liberty of heart derived from Heaven
Bought with His Blood who gave it to mankind
And seal'd with the same token"......
— William Cowper
