Robert Louis Stevenson - Ad Olum

Robert Louis Stevenson - Ad Olum

CALL me not rebel, though { here at every word br {in what I sing br If I no longer hail thee { King and Lord br { Lord and King br I have redeemed myself with all I had, br And now possess my fortunes poor but glad. br With all I had I have redeemed myself, br And escaped at once from slavery and pelf. br The unruly wishes must a ruler take, br Our high desires do our low fortunes make: br Those only who desire palatial things br Do bear the fetters and the frowns of Kings; br Set free thy slave; thou settest free thyself.
