So, to them, as equal brothers,
Equal love and help extend.[[5]]
Thou shalt not the slave deliver
To his master, when he flees:—
Heritage, from God, the Giver,
Yield them freely, where they please.[[6]]
As thyself,[[7]]—thy babes,—their mother,—
Thou wouldst shield from murd’rous arm,
So the slave, thy equal brother,
And his household, shield from harm.
