I have lately made a tour through several of the
neighbouring provinces, and find the sensible people in them
greatly displeased with the Virginians, for not adhering

HEARTS OF OAK.
Come cheer up, my lads, and your liberty shield.
Let no wrong headed statesmen induce you to yield;
Oppression oppose, servile measures detest!
Maintain with your lives what your father possess'd.
. . . [1 verse more, burdened with]
Then rouse up, my lads, and your freedom defend;
By firmness and bravery oppose British slavery,
Your lives and your fortunes on freedom depend.
. . . [7 more lines]
The above mite is cheerfully contributed by a wellwisher of
his country, who call for every person possessed of publick
virtue to act with spirit, prudence, and moderation, at this
alarming crisis.
