Note 17 — POEMS OF PHILIP FRENEAU
Reading edition
The original version in the Daily Advertiser, June 11, 1790, added here these lines:
"Yet shall not malice rob them of their due, Not all their worth is center'd in a few: On Fame's bright lists their sages they enroll, Theirs is the brave, and high aspiring soul, Heroes and chiefs, the firm unconquer'd mind That rul'd in councils, or in battles shin'd, Sent traitorous bands new regions to explore And drove their titled miscreant[a] from the shore."
