THE HILL OF FREEDOM. 433 



"Teach them lessons of love by the pure Gospel 

 taught, 



** Apart from the webs superstition hath wrought. 



** Diffuse, too, the wisdom which knowledge im- 

 parts ; 



** Teach them foresight, and prudence, the useful in 

 arts. 



•' Be, in your own persons, the picture I draw, 



*' And soon shall you need not the terrors of law, 



'• This do. and your Slaves will, aye, maugre your 

 creed, 



" Soon become all well fitted for freedom indeed. 



" My realm they may enter with dance and with sonr, 



" While happiness leads them, in triumph, along!" 



She said, — a dark cloud now arose on the hill ; 

 No more she was seen ; aloud warbled the rill.
