To the Honourable Mr. Erskine Annotated

When British Freedom for an happier land
&nbspSpread her broad wings, that flutter'd with affright,
&nbspErskine! thy voice she heard, and paus'd her flight
Sublime of hope, for dreadless thou didst stand
&nbsp(Thy censer glowing with the hallow'd flame)
&nbspA hireless Priest before the insulted shrine,
&nbspAnd at her altar pour the stream divine
Of unmatch'd eloquence. Therefore thy name

Her sons shall venerate, and cheer thy breast
&nbspWith blessings heaven-ward breath'd. And when the doom
&nbspOf Nature bids thee die, beyond the tomb
Thy light shall shine: as sunk beneath the West

Though the great Summer Sun eludes our gaze,
Still burns wide Heaven with his distended blaze.
