And Frederick Douglass (mighty man,
Whose powerful eloquence can fan
The human passions to a flame
Whene'er he speaks in Freedom's name,)
Could not on Southern despots rail,
But for that precious bill of sale
Which, like a keepsake in a locket,
He has secreted in his pocket:
With such an honorable discharge
He now can safely run at large.
