The cause of freedom is the cause of God!

The Right Honourable Edmund Burke (1791)

Go tell the Spartans, thou that passest by,
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.

O harmony! thou tenderest nurse of pain,
If that thy note's sweet magic e'er can heal
Griefs which the patient spirit oft may feel,
Oh! let me listen to thy songs again;
Till memory her fairest tints shall bring;
Hope wake with brighter eye, and listening seem
With smiles to think on some delightful dream.
