Note 12 — POEMS OF PHILIP FRENEAU
Reading edition
"All, all too weak to effect the vast design That swell'd, poor Gage, that puny heart of thine, That urg'd Burgoyne to slight his Celia's charms, The brother Howes to furbish up their arms And modern Percies lose their wonted sleep To conquer countries, that they could—not keep." —Original version in the Daily Advertiser, March 29, 1790.
