[Verse written by Phillis Wheatley, the African Poetess]
Providence, Octo. 26, 1775.
HIS EXCELLENCY GENERAL WASHINGTON.
Celestial choir! enthron'd in realms of light, 
Columbia's scenes of glorious toils I write.
While freedom's cause her anxious breast alarms
She flashes dreadful in refulgent arms.
. . . [38 more lines]
[signed] Phillis Wheatley
