"Ah! Freedom is a noble thing!
Freedom makes man to have liking:
Freedom all solace to man gives:
He lives at ease that freely lives!"
John Barbour (1316?-1395), Scottish poet, prelate, scholar. The Bruce (l. 1-4). . .

"That is coupled to foul thraldom.
But if he had assayed it,
Then all perquer he should it wit;
And should think freedom more to prize
Than all the gold in world that is."
John Barbour (1316?-1395), Scottish poet, prelate, scholar. The Bruce (l. 1-4). . .
