Rh Not a disembodied spirit can the weapons of tyrants
 * let loose,

But it stalks invisibly over the earth, whispering,
 * counselling, cautioning.

Liberty! let others despair of you! I never despair
 * of you.

Is the house shut? Is the master away? Nevertheless be ready—be not weary of watching, He will soon return—his messengers come anon.
