“How long will conquerors trample earth,And Strength prevail o'er Right and Worth?Gaze round the world—this truth confess,The powerful still the weak oppress;New empires spring o'er empires' graves,Some must be free, and some be slaves;Some spirits rise, some sink as deep,And these must smile and those must weep:Man, as he thinks and acts below,An equal lot can never know.”
