Sweet Liberty! celestial Guest!
Welcome—O welcome to my Breast!
Too long from thence by Passion driven,
Thou best, thou noblest Gift of Heaven!

Too long from thence by Passion driven,

No more I drag the servile Chain;
No more I sigh; no more I mourn;
Fair Reason now resumes her Reign;
And Peace and Joy again return.
No more I sigh; no more I mourn;
Fair Reason now resumes her Reign;
And Peace and Joy again return.
