SAID TOBE WRITTEN BY MR. C O peerage we covet, no sceptres desire, Nor gew-gaws that garnish a throne; Yet Liberty loves, on her own native lvrc, To celebrate sons of her own. And always with rapture, his virtue die lings, And exults on the morn of his birth— Who (hakes every throne of dcfpotical kings, And gives a new lefibn to earth. O widely diffufe it, ye winds, as ye blow, O waft it, ye waves, that they fan, For the choicest of grists that the gods can bellow, Is the blefiing of Freedom to Man. O Washington, hail! whom the breath of pure fame With praises more sweet (hall perfume, Than ever embalm'd or exalted a name In Macedon, Athens, or Rome ! For Freedom, fay what did that foe of the Greek. Alexander, that Hero admir'd ? Let the foes, or the friend, whom he maflacred, (peak, Or the beautiful City he fir'd. Ye unfetter'd freemen, examine each deed That made him renown'd and ador'd, Then mention what race bv his valor was freed, Or blefs'd by his sceptre or sword ? Did conquering Caesar Rome's Senate obey ? Did the Legions disperse at a word ? Did he halt or letire from a summit of sway That saving his Country conferr'd ? Thrn Washington hail! whom the breath of pure fame With praises more sweet fnall perfume, Than ever embalm'd or exalted a name In Macedon, Athens, or Rome! Did Athens, did Sparta, one Hero produce, T* extinguish their feuds by his mind, Or prove to the free the pre-eminent use Of Union to them—and Mankind ? Ah no ! if wife Greece but one Patriot adept, One Leader like our's had enjoy'd, No lover of Science or Freedom had wept For Science and Freedom deftroy'd. Then Wash i ngton hail! whom the breath of pure fame With praises more sweet shall perfume, Than ever embalm'd or exalted a name In Macedon, Athens, or Rome !
