Or angry bigots frown :

To keep the people doun:
VVhen statesmen form unholy league
To drive the world lo war:

For ribbons or a star:
We raise our heads, survey their deeds,
And cheerily reply

When canting hypocrites combine
To curb a free man's thought,

When round their narrow pale they plod,
And scornfully assume
That all without are cursed of God,
And justify Hie doom :

And strong in hope reply
