ODE TO A FRIEND WOUNDED IN A DUEL, SELECTION, by                    
First Line: How long shall tyrant custom bind
Last Line: In spite of reason's rule and nature's eldest law?
Subject(s): Duels


"How long shall tyrant custom bind
In slavish chains the human mind?
How long shall false fantastic honour draw
The vengeful sword, with fury fell,
And rancorous malice, dark as hell,
In spite of Reason's rule and Nature's eldest law?
