For ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves, While the earth bears a plant or the sea rolls its waves.
Página 34 - Here lies our Sovereign Lord the King, Whose word no man relies on ; Who never said a foolish thing, And never did a wise one.
Página 214 - Conant and some other gentlemen, that if the British went out by water, we would show two lanterns in the north church steeple; and if by land, one, as a signal; for we were apprehensive it would be difficult to cross the Charles River, or get over Boston neck.
