The Man whose mind & actions still Sedate br Can bravely triumph ore ye thoughts of fate br He who unaltered fortunes Changes brookes br Without elated or dejected lookes br With a fixd carriage & undaunted soul br Shall see ye oceans boiling surges roll br Vesuvius flames in smoaky pillars rise br & bolts of thunder dart from opening skys br Why dread we wretched mankind tell me why br When the vain threats of tyrants idely fly br Weigh all things right as in themselves they are br Unlearn your minds to move by hope & fear br With in yr breast lett resolution reign br & all their baffled forces act in vain br But he who servily can wish or grieve br For that which is not in his powr to give br Casts off the firmness wch shoud make him great br the strongest shield we can oppose to fate br letts inclinations grow & thus he weaves br Those very bonds which keep us passions slaves.
