| Citation | MG-B(D.775.036 28 Nov 1775:32,33 (1/31) AMBITION: AN ELEGY. . . [5 lines] Shall venal chains th' aspiring soul detain? Shall mercenary views each thought employ?? For splendid affluence to sigh in vain, Nor know what cares internal peace destroy? For, what avails the glittering pomp of show, To roll supine in wealth's inglorious car? When heav'n-born freedom turns a hatred foe, Sounds the loud clarion, and proclaims the war. . . . [11 more verses] |
