LXXIV.Spirit away from Liberty! whenever on Phyle’s browThou sat’st having Thrasybulus along with his teach,Couldst thou forbode the brand new dismal hour and that nowDims the new environmentally friendly beauties away from thine Loft simple?Not thirty tyrants now impose the fresh chain,However, all the carle is lord they o’er thy home;Neither increase thy sons, but idly train within the vain,Moving within the scourge out-of Turkish give,Out of delivery right up until demise enslaved; during the word, within the deed, unmanned.

LXXVI.Genetic bondsmen! understand ye notWho is free themselves have to strike the strike?From the its right fingers new conquest should be shaped?Will Gaul or Muscovite redress ye?
