Priestley by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Priestley Annotated

Though rous'd by that dark Vizir Riot rude
&nbspHave driven our Priestley o'er the Ocean swell;
&nbspThough Superstition and her wolfish brood
Bay his mild radiance, impotent and fell;
Calm in his halls of brightness he shall dwell!
&nbspFor lo! Religion at his strong behest
&nbspStarts with mild anger from the Papal spell,
And flings to Earth her tinsel-glittering vest,
Her mitred State and cumbrous Pomp unholy;
&nbspAnd Justice wakes to bid th' Oppressor wail
&nbspInsulting aye the wrongs of patient Folly;
And from her dark retreat by Wisdom won
Meek Nature slowly lifts her matron veil
To smile with fondness on her gazing Son!
