He said 't was better
To lay no fetter
Upon the lungs,
To expand the chest
Was surely best
By use of tongues.
Such precepts rare,
I lock'd with care
Close in my breast,
Don't you think, John,
To act upon
His plan is best?
If chains that bind
The free-born mind
Make men rebel,
Can strict restraint
On all complaint
Please babies well?
