INSCRIPTION FOR AN ALTAR OF INDEPENDENCE

At Kerroughtree, the Seat of Mr. Heron.

THOU of an independent mind,

With soul resolv'd, with soul resign'd;

Prepar'd Power's proudest frown to brave,

Who wilt not be, nor have a slave;

Virtue alone who dost revere,

Thy own reproach alone dost fear—

Approach this shrine, and worship here.
