VIVE LA LIBERTE.
Inscription over the chimney of a gentleman's dining room.
  To my best my friends are free,
  Free with that, and free with me;
  Free to pass the harmless joke,
  And the tube sedately smoke;
  Free to drink---just what they please,
  As at home, and at their ease;
  Free to speak, as free to think,
  No informer's with me drink;
  Free to stay a night or so,
  When uneasy, free to go.
