Excerpt from The Progress of Freedom: And Other Poems
"Who first taught souls enslaved, and realms undone,
The enormous faith of many made for one;
That proud exception to all Natures laws,
To invert the world and counterwork its cause?
Force first made conquest, and that conquest law,
Till superstition taught the tyrant awe;
Then shared the tyranny, then lent it aid,
And gods of conquerors, slaves of subjects made." Pope.
Since different sights to different men belong,
As some are weak, and others very strong;
So each in life should proper distance take,
To view his object, and his comment make.
How smooth some objects to the sight appear
When seen at distance, but how changed when near;
While nearer objects of gigantic size
Need aid of distance when they please the eyes;
And things minute inspection close require,
From those who searching would the truth desire.
Some vile low thing in human shape,
That self-conceited would the statesman ape,
Some wealthy rogue who would most honest seem,
