This is true liberty when freeborn men,
Having to advise the public, may speak free:
Which he who can and will deserves high praise:
Who neither can nor will may hold his peace.
What can be juster in a state than this?
Milton—Trans. Horace. Ep. i. 16, 40.
Give me again my hollow tree
A crust of bread, and liberty!
Pope—Imitations of Horace. Bk. II. Satire VI. Line 220.
