Note C — THE PLEIADES OF CONNECTICUT.
Reading edition
Philip Freneau, whose Jacobin newspaper was despised by all good Federalists, wrote better verses than the All Connecticut Seven. His "Indian Burying-Ground" is worthy of a place in an anthology. This stanza has often been ascribed to Campbell; it is as good as any one in Schiller's "Nadowessie Death-Lament,"—
"By midnight moons, o'er glistening dews, In vestments for the chase arrayed, The hunter still the deer pursues; The hunter and the deer a shade."
