 He that in Blind Dependence now ubmits,

Will roue his Strength, when he hall roue his Wits;

Nature prevails, and Sene in Exercie

The Chains on Reaon nat'rally unties.

Thus when new Sight hall once but bles the Poor,

'Tis thee will Scotland's Liberty Retore;

The trong Conviction no Man can reit,

And Blindnes hall againt her Will be blet;

And now, in all their Mieries, let's View

What Bleings they indutriouly purue;

What jut Equivalent they can upply,

For los of Wealth, and los of Liberty:

Th' Intructed Poor Laborious and Suppret;

Yet in their very Mieries are blet;

Cruh'd with injurious Homage they obey

GOD and their Landlord, but with diff'rent Eye;

And yet to both they pay without Regrett,

To this the Homage, and to that the Debt.

The Negatives of Nature they Endure,

In Virtue Rich, tho in Poeions Poor,

Knowing in Sacreds, in Religion Nice,

And ignorant in nothing more than Vice:

What Crimes they have, they borrow from Mankind,

Hell's Manufactures here are contraband.

Imported by the help of Foreign Trade,

Clandetinely enjoy'd, clandetinely conveigh'd.
