CLASSIC WAR POEMS
Selected by J. Howard Wert
*O.ll. WARREN'S ADDRESS
BY REV. JOHN PIERPONT
As a companion piece to Brace's Address, given in the Inst number, the
compiler here pr sents the supposed address of Dr. Joseph Wnrren to the
"embattled farmers" who fought at Bunker's Hill. As I!, 000 liritish soldiers
were advancing to th» breastworks-where 1,054, including 8!) otlieers, fell before
the unerring aim of the farmers' fowling pieces; as the 500 wooden houses of
Charlestown were going up in a pyramid of (ire. Dr. Warren joined his country
men; and, although appointed a major general by the Continental Congress,
served as a volunteer in the ranks, encouraging and directing his fellow patriots
wherever his services appeared to be most needed.
General AVarren was a man, who, to the purest patriotism and most un
daunted bravery, added the virtues of domestic life, the eloquence of an ac
complished orator, and the wisdom of an able statesman. He was killed in the
retreat. Finding his corps hotly pursued by the enemy, despising all danger, he
stood alone before the ranks, endeavoring to rally his troops, and encourage
them by his example. He pointed to their ensigns, and reminded them of their
cheering mottos. An English officer perceived him, and know him; and, having
borrowed a musket, shot him dead upon the'spot. Thus died the patriot Warren
but 34 years old.
Stand! the ground's your own, my I And before you, see
braves, Who have done it! From the vale
Will ye give it us to slaves? ) they come! and will ye <iuuil'f —
