On the Abbe Raynal's History of the Etablishments in the East and West Indies - ZaunköniG - 02.06.2008 On the Abbe Raynal's History of the Etablishments in the East and West Indies Friend to be wretch! great patron of mankind! Born to enlighten and reform the age; Whose energetic and immortal page From Nature's laws hath every art combined Of mildest policy: whose soul refined Melts at the slave's big tear, with generous rage Dares to assert his rights, his griefs assuage And mould to industry the savage mind. Heeding thy lore, the nations bless'd shall see Unbounded commerce, wealth, and peace arise, And truth, and spotless faith, and liberty: Nor shall thy latest moment want the meed Of praise and joy serene, which virtuous deed Procures from Heaven to cheer the good and wise. |
