COUNTRYMEN! I sue for simple justice at your hands,

Naught else I ask, nor less will have ;

Act right, therefore, and yield my claim,

Or, by the great God that made all things,

I'll fight, till from my bones my flesh be hack'd!-Shakspeare.

The liberal deviseth liberal things,

And by liberal things shall he stand.-Isaiah.
