Sonnet: To Liberty (1796) by Mary Robinson

Oh! Liberty! transcendent and sublime!
Born on the mountain's solitary crest;
Nature thy nurse, thy fire unconquered Time,

Truth, the pure inmate of thy glowing breast!

Oft dost thou wander by the billowy deep,

Scattering the sands that bind the level shore,

That bids the tyrant tempest lash the steep!

'Tis thine, when sanguinary demons lour,

Amidst the thickening hosts to force thy way;

B.
by listing its journeys to different geographic locations

C.
by describing its birth and death through personification

D.
by comparing its power to that of a tyrannical government
