[Another gesture from Freedom and the second Spokesman is illuminated to shout, as his antiphonal response, the words of Tom Paine.]
The Second Spokesman
Oh, ye that love mankind, stand forth! Oh, ye that dare oppose the tyranny and the tyrant, stand forth!
The First Spokesman
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!
The Second Spokesman
Freedom hath been hunted round the globe. England hath given her warning to depart. Oh, receive the fugitive and prepare, in time, an asylum for mankind!
[Freedom’s two arms go wildly up.]
A Great Shout from the Hills
Give me liberty or give me death!
