Previous work: To Terraughty, on his birthday
How, Liberty, girl, can it be by thee nam'd? Equality too! hussey, art not asham'd: Free and Equal indeed, while mankind thou enchainest, And over their hearts a proud Despot so reignest.
This is a poem by Robert Burns. It was written in 1788 and is read here by Billy Boyd.
