Whilst happy in my native land, I boast my country's charter, I'll never basely lend my hand Her liberties to barter. The noble mind is not at all By poverty degraded; 'Tis guilt alone can make us fall, And I am well persuaded, Each free-born Briton's song should be, "Or give me Death or Liberty!" . . . [12 more line with burden, "Or give me Death or Liberty!" |
