'I'll think to-morrow, I must live to-day:'

So am I here—I own the laws are just—

And here, where thought is painful, think I must.

But speech is pleasant; this discourse with thee

Brings to my mind the sweets of liberty;

Breaks on the sameness of the place, and gives

The doubtful heart conviction that it lives,

"Let me describe my anguish in the hour

140

When law detained me and I felt its power.
