THOU of an independent mind, <br />With soul resolv'd, with soul resign'd; <br />Prepar'd Power's proudest frown to brave, <br />Who wilt not be, nor have a slave; <br />Virtue alone who dost revere, <br />Thy own reproach alone dost fear— <br />Approach this shrine, and worship here.<br /><br />Robert Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inscription-for-an-alter-of-independence-2/
