Poet Analysis

First Line: GRANT ME, INDULGENT HEAVEN, THAT I MAY LIVE
Last Line: TILL SLAVE AND DESPOT BE BUT THINGS THAT WERE.
Subject(s): JUSTICE;
Grant me, indulgent Heaven, 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 that were.
