Philip Freneau quotes:
-
At sea let the British their neighbors defy-The French shall have frigates to traverse the sky.
-
Red serpents, fiery forms, and yelling hags, Fit company for mad adventurers.
-
To the Memory of the Americans who fell at Eutaw,
-
If nothing once, you nothing lose, For when you die you are the same; The space between is but an hour, The frail duration of a flower.
-
They saw their injured country's woe.
-
Tobacco surely was designed To poison, and destroy mankind.
-
But fame is theirs - and future days On pillar'd brass shall tell their praise; Shall tell - when cold neglect is dead - "These for their country fought and bled."
-
And long shall timorous fancy see The painted chief, and pointed spear, And Reason's self shall bow the knee To shadows and delusions here.
-
Jesus would never use government surrogates to force the people to help others.
-
They saw their injured country's woe; The flaming town, the wasted field; Then rushed to meet the insulting foe; They took the spear, - but left the shield.
