A POETICAL EPISTLE TO HIS EXCELLENCY GEORGE WASHINGTON, ESQ.
While many a servile muse her succour lends
To flatter tyrants, or a tyrant's friends, 
While thousands slaughter'd at ambition's shrine
Are made a plea to court the tuneful nine;
. . . [12 more lines], 
Shall my untutor'd muse begin the song, 
Which future bards in rapture shall prolong;
. . . [78 more lines]
