Verses on the Arrival of Doctor Franklin in France.
Le voila ce mortel dont l' heureuse industrie,
Au tonnerre imposa des loix,. . .
[Translated by a soldier]
  Behold the man with daring genius rise,
  To curb the thunders of the vengeful skies,
  Whose voice, persuasive in his country's cause,
  Boldly oppos'd and sav'd from tyrant's laws.
