Fate Steals Along With Silent

To Follow Foolish Precedents, And Wink With Both Our Eyes, Is Easier Than To Think.

And Diff'ring Judgments Serve But To Declare That Truth Lies Somewhere, If We Knew But Where.

Forced From Home, And All Its Pleasures, Afric Coast I Left Forlorn; To Increase A Stranger's Treasures, O The Raging Billows Borne. Men From England Bought And Sold Me, Paid My Price In Paltry Gold; But, Though Theirs They Have Enroll'd Me, Minds Are Never To Be Sold.

Vice Stings Us Even In Our Pleasures, But Virtue Consoles Us Even In Our Pains.

But Animated Nature Sweeter Still, To Soothe And Satisfy The Human Ear.
