From STANZAS ON FREEDOM
Poem★★★★Men! whose boast it is that ye Come of fathers brave and free, If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly free and brave? If ye do not feel the chain, When it works a brother’s pain, Are ye not base slaves indeed, Slaves unworthy to be freed!
The point
Challenges those who boast of freedom to feel a brother's chains as their own.
