| Citation | IC.777.011 30 Jan 1777:12 (9/441) Williamsburg, December 27. . . [News that French aid may be coming.] Our groaning country bleeds at every vein; New murders, rapes, fell massacres prevail, And desolation covers all the land! Who can hear this, and not with patriot zeal, Nobly step forth, to guard their wives and children! And sheath a dagger in the villain's heart Who'd rob us of our peace, our all, our honour! |
