Written On The Day That Mr Leigh Hunt Left Prison

What though， for showing truth to flatter'd state，

Kind Hunt was shut in prison， yet has he，

In his immortal¹ spirit， been as free

As the sky-searching lark²， and as elate.

Minion³ of grandeur⁴！ think you he did wait？

Think you he nought⁵ but prison-walls did see，

Till， so unwilling⁶， thou unturn'dst the key？

Ah， no！ far happier， nobler was his fate！

In Spenser's halls he stray'd， and bowers⁷ fair，

Culling⁸ enchanted⁹ flowers； and he flew

With daring Milton through the fields of air：

To regions of his own his genius true

Took happy flights. Who shall his fame impair¹⁰

When thou art dead， and all thy wretched crew.
