Verses addressed to his Excellency, General Washington. . .
[2 lines]
While thy glad country with accordant voice,
Begins in her salvation to rejoice;
And spreads thy name to distant countries wide,
As her chief saviour, hero, and her pride;
Permit the muse, with zealous love sincere,
To give her song of triumph to thine ear;
. . . [18 lines]
Witness (unnumber'd brilliant deeds among
The muse shall carol in a future song)
. . . [36 more lines, signed] Classicus
