by Unknown

True Liberty was Christian; sanctified,

Baptized and found in Christian hearts alone.

First-born of Virtue, daughter of the skies,

Nursling of truth divine; sister of all

The graces, meekness, holiness, and love.

Giving to God, and man, and all below

That symptom showed of sensible existence,

Their due, unasked.
