Liberty

By Cowper

'Tis Liberty alone that gives the flower Of fleeting life its luster and perfume; And we are weeds without it. All constraint Except what wisdom lays on evil men, Is evil: hurts the faculties, impedes Their progress in the road of science, blinds The eyesight of discovery; and begets, In those that suffer it, a sordid mind, Bestial, a meager intellect, unfit To be the tenant of man's noble form. — Cowper.
