...more than you, 
But they saw how the certain menace grew, 
And they gave two years of their youth or three 
The more to insure their liberty 
When the wrath of rifles and pennoned spears 
Should roll like a flood on their wrecked frontiers. 
They wanted the war no more than you, 
But when the dreadful summons blew 
And the time to settle the quarrel came 
They sprang to their guns, each man was game; 
And mark if they fight not to the last 
For their hearths, their altars, an...Read more of this...

...int of view, 
One you may as well indue 
With some alarm. 

Not the most heroic face 
To present, I grant;
Nor will you insure disgrace 
By fearing what you want. 
Freedom has a world of sides, 
And if reason once derides 
Courage, then your courage hides
A deal of cant. 

Learn a little to forget 
Life was once a feast; 
You aren’t fit for dying yet, 
So don’t be a beast.
Few men with a mind will say, 
Thinking twice, that they can pay 
Half their debts of yesterday, 
Or be ...Read more of this...

...Beaver's best course was, no doubt, to procure
A second-hand dagger-proof coat--
So the baker advised it--and next, to insure
Its life in some Office of note: 

This the Baker suggested, and offered for hire
(On moderate terms), or for sale,
Two excellent Policies, one Against Fire
And one Against Damage From Hail. 

Yet still, ever after that sorrowful day,
Whenever the Butcher was by,
The Beaver kept looking the opposite way,
And appeared unaccountably shy....Read more of this...

...Life the day of grace and hope.

Eccl. 9:4-6,10. 

Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t' insure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.

[Life is the hour that God has giv'n
To 'scape from hell and fly to heav'n;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.]

The living know that they must die,
But all the dead forgotten lie;
Their mem'ry and their sense is gone,
Alike unknowing...Read more of this...

...auty; 
Hail to these, and others, after
Momus, gleesome god of laughter.

Quirinus would guard my health, 
Plutus would insure me wealth; 
Mercury looks after trade, 
Hera smiles on youth and maid.
All are kind, I own their worth, 
After Momus, god of mirth.

Though Apollo, out of spite, 
Hides away his face of light, 
Though Minerva looks askance, 
Deigning me no smiling glance, 
Kings and queens may envy me
While I claim the god of glee.

Wisdom wearies, Love had wings –
