Champion of Freedom! Whose exalted mind
Grasp’d at the gen’ral good of human kind!
Patriot! Whose view could stretch from pole to pole,
And, whilst he bless’’d his Country, lov’d the whole!
William Roscoe
This poem was in the Gentlemen’s Magazine, 1809, p 160 and is about Charles Fox who campaigned for the abolition of slavery.
