Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Washington or American Independence: First Campaign;; A Drama in Four Acts
Must thou succumb without a stroke for life? Shall I, whom thou hast bounteously fed, Stand coldly by and see thee chained? Shall all Reproach thy patriots? Disdain thy power, And, rather than defend themselves, be slaves? Unhappy land, like an indulgent mother, Thou hast children upreared, enriched and blest, And yet, in this thy last extremity, When thou art racked. Tormented, ravished, slain, They have no heart to feel thy woes, defend Like sons, - thy cause. But idly stand, or ?ee.
