And can you persist after this, my Lord?--don't --for my sake don't.--
LORD
A passion like mine, makes the heart rebellious--it will love on--it will hope, in spite of the rules cold reason dictates.
SIR JOHN
I know my uncle is impatient for my return, and therefore I cannot remain any longer here--but I am sorry to leave you--very sorry to leave you in this situation, indeed, my Lord--Now promise to get the better of your passion--it will make me much happier if you will.
LORD
I can promise nothing--why don't you go to your uncle?
SIR JOHN
I am going--I must go, or he'll never pardon it.

The minds of the negroes are contracted; because slavery destroys all the springs of the soul. They are wicked; but not sufficiently so with you. They are treacherous, because they are under no obligation to speak truth to their tyrants. They acknowledge the superiority of our understandings; because we have abused their ignorance; they allow the justice of our authority; because we have abused their weakness. I might as well say, that the Indians are a species of men born to be crushed to death; because there are fanatics among them, who throw themselves under the wheels of their idol's car betore the temple of Jaguernat.

Surpass'd his pow'r, or the slack'd reins recall.
The pilot, when th' outrageous tempest roars,
If once the helm he quite, in vain exhorts
His mariners the swelling sails to furl:
Vain all their art: precipitately drives
The wand'ring bark, as winds and waves command.
Or when a lofty mound with massy pride
Hath long withstood the lashing surge's rage;
At the first breach the torrent bursts it's way
With rapid fury impetuous, uncontroll'd.
Thus your deluded Chief, Heav'ns sacred awe
Subvertng, pav'd the fatal way to vice.
And where's the boasted liberty of man?
Chang'd are his lords indeed; and tyrant Lust
Usurps the just supremacy of Heav'n.
