ON THE FINAL PASSING OF THE BILL FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE br MARCH 1807 br br CLARKSON! it was an obstinate hill to climb: br How toilsome--nay, how dire--it was, by thee br Is known; by none, perhaps, so feelingly: br But thou, who, starting in thy fervent prime, br Didst first lead forth that enterprise sublime, br Hast heard the constant Voice its charge repeat, br Which, out of thy young heart's oracular seat, br First roused thee.
