With evil omens from the harbour sails The ill-fated ship that worthless Arnold bears; God of the southern winds, call up thy gales, And whistle in rude fury round his ears. - Arnold's Departure [Treason] But matchless Franklin! What a few Can hope to rival such as you. Who seized from kings their sceptred pride And turned the lightning's darts inside. - On the Death of Benjamin Franklin [Electricity] Then rush'd to meet the insulting foe; They took the spear, but left the shield. - To the Memory of the Brave Americans who fell at Eulaw Springs [Bravery] O Washington! thrice glorious name, What due rewards can man decree-- Empires are far below thy aim, And scepters have no charms for thee; Virtue alone has your regards, And she must be your great reward. - Washington's Arrival in Philadelphia [Washington, George]
