"Then, greatly rising in his Country's Right,
Her Hero, her Deliverer sprung to Light;
A Race of hardy, northern Sons he led,
Guiltless of Courts, untainted, and unread,
Whose inborn Spirit spurn'd th' ignoble Fee,
Whose Hands scorn'd Bondage, for their Hearts were free.
Ask ye what Law their conq'ring Cause confess'd?
Great Nature's Law, the Law within the Breast,
Form'd by no Art, and to no Sect confin'd,
But stamp'd by Heav'n upon th' unletter'd Mind.

"By Personal Freedom I mean that State resulting from Virtue; or Reason ruling in the Breast superior to Appetite and Passion; and by National Freedom I mean a Security (arising from the Nature of a well-order'd Constitution) for those Advantages and Privileges that each Man has a Right to, by contributing as a Member to the Weal of that Community.
(p. vii)
This is truly to Reign; this, only, is to Reign. How glorious, how extensive is the Prerogative of such a Monarch! He is superior to Subjects, each of whom is equal to any Monarch, who is only superior to Slaves. He is scepter'd in the Hearts of his People, from whence He directs their Hands with double Force and Energy. His Office partakes of the Divine Inclination , by being exerted to no other End, but the Happiness of a People.

"GUSTAVUS.
Why? where's that Pow'r whose Engines are of Force
To bend the brave and virtuous Man to Slav'ry?
Base Fear, the Laziness of Lust, gross Appetites,
These are the Ladders, and the groveling Footstool,
From whence the Tyrant rises on our Wrongs,
Secure and scepter'd in the Soul's Servility.
He has debauch'd the Genius of our Country,
And rides triumphant, while her captive Sons
Await his Nod, the silken Slaves of Pleasure,
Or fetter'd in their Fears.

'Tis there you err, for I have felt their Force;
And had I yielded to enlarge these Limbs,
Or share the Tyrant's Empire, on the Terms
Which he propos'd---I were a Slave indeed.
No---in the deep and deadly Damp of Dungeons
The Soul can rear her Sceptre, smile in Anguish,
And triumph o'er Oppression.

"CRISTINA.
O delightful Notes!
That I do love thee, yes, tis true, my Lord.
The Bond of Virtue, Friendship's sacred Tie,
The Lover's Pains, and all the Sisters Fondness,
Mine has the Flame of ev'ry Love within it.
But I have a Father, guilty if he be,
Yet is he old; if cruel, yet a Father.
Abandon'd now by ev'ry supple Wretch
That fed his Years with Flattery. I am all
That's left to calm, to sooth his troubled Soul,
To Penitence, to Virtue; and perhaps
Restore the better Empire o'er his Mind,
True Seat of all Dominion--Yet Gustavus
Yet there are mightier Reasons--O farewell!
Had I ne'er lov'd I might have stay'd with Honour.
