Oh 'tis a word of more than magic spell Whose sacred power, the wanderer best ^ [[addition]] can [[/addition]] tell He, who long distant from his native land Feels at her name, --his eager soul expand Whether as Patriot, Husband, Father, Freind To that dear point, his thoughts, his wishes bend And still he owns, --where'er his footsteps roam Life's choicest blessings centre all [[underline]] at home. [[/underline]] Political Liberty is --"the freedom from all restraint Except what redeems its partial [[deletion]] restraint [[/deletion]] [[addition]] inconveniences [[/addition]] by a balance of [[underline]] publick [[/underline]] benefit."-- The spirit of (ancient) chivalry in its minutia & excess, may make men fight more than they need, love more than they ought, & pray perhaps at unsuitable times, --but valour, sensibility, & patient suffering are the noble results.
