Poem by Robert Burns


Lines Written Extempore in a Lady's Pocket-Book [Miss Kennedy, Sister-in-Law of Gavin Gamilton]


Grant me, indulgent Heav’n, that I may live
To see the miscreants feel the pains they give;
Deal Freedom’s sacred treasures free as air,
Till slave and despot be but things which were.

1793
