[Acrostic on George Washington]
A JERUSALEM BLADE.
G enuine production of the God's above,
E merg'd from Heav'n on wing's of sovereign love,
O ver Columbia's host to take command,
R egain her freedom, and defend her land;
G reatness of language can't his praise express,
E clipse but his fame and makes it shine the less.
. . . [11 lines, 44 lines of acrostics on Major General Lee,
Major General Putnam, Major General Warren, and Major
General Heath, all by A Jerusalem Blade]
