Slavery = Bad.
I have no Latin & less Greek, but in your translation the ode sounds heartfelt as Nemesis (AKA the blazes), centoed or not.
Heartfelt is right, I think: Coleridge genuinely cared about this.
I don't talk about the ironies of recreating the poetic idiom of Ancient Greece, itself of course a slave-owning culture, to oppose the slave trade.
I didn't know this poem. Thank you!
