1^8 EXERCICES DE COMPOSITION. A DIALOGUE ON ENGLAND'S PREROGATIVES. 12. A few days ago, passing by one of their prisons, I could not avoid stopping, in order to listen to a dialogue which I thought might afford me some entertainment. The conversation was carried on between a debtor through the grate of his prison, a porter, who had stopped to rest his burden, and a soldier at the window. The subject was a threatened invasion from France, and each seemed extremely anxious to rescue his country from the impending danger. Tor my part', cries the prisoner, 'the greatest of my apprehensions is for our freedom; if the French should conquer, what would become of English liberty? My dear friends, liberty is the Englishman's prerogative; we must preserve that at the expense of our lives, of that the French shall never deprive us. It is not to be expected that men who are slaves themselves would preserve our freedom, should they happen to conquer'. 'Ay slaves', cries the porter, 'they are all slaves, fit only to carry burdens, every one of them. Before I would stoop to slavery let this be my poison ! (and the goblet in his hand,) may this be my poison he held but I would sooner list for a soldier'. The soldier, taking the goblet from his friend with much awe, fer- vently cried out , 'It is not so much our liberties , as our religion , that would suffer by such a change: ay, our religion, my lads. If the French should come over, our religion would be utterly undone!' So saying, instead of a libation, he applied the goblet to his lips, and confirmed his sentiments with a ceremony of the most persevering devotion. (Goldsmith.)
