I have updated it to the best of my ability. I cannot think of a good replacement for "wink at my familiar lust", and I do not like the line "We share blood, but my soul I don't observe;", seems awkward and vague. The original closer was based on something ironic Jefferson said, “The earth belongs always to the living generation. The dead have neither powers nor rights over it.”, but I found a better line to riff on, "Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free;" a line whihc actually refers to black slaves, altho ofc he meant "eventually" and was talking about sending them back to Africa, not making them citizens.
