To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Were nonsense to the drugs that stuff'd his bill." i6 He thus describes the daily deaths and burials on the Long Island shore at the Wallabout : " By feeble hands the shallow graves were made, No stone memorials o'er the corpses laid ; In barren sands, and far from home, they lie, No friend to shed a tear when passing by ; O'er the mean tombs insulting Britons tread.
Spurn at the sand, and curse the rebel dead." An appeal then follows to Americans to " Rouse from your sleep, and crush the thiev...ish band.
Defeat, destroy, and sweep them from the land ; " and the poem closes with this prediction of final defeat to the British : " The years approach that shall to ruin bring Your lords, your chiefs, your miscreant of a King, Whose murderous acts shall stamp his name accurs'd.
And his last triumphs more than damn his first." The whole poem of about 700 lines was intended to rouse up American feeling, then — in 1780 — excessively depressed; and the extracts that have been given will show Freneau's power to arrest public attention, as well as the variety, beauty and force of different characteristics of his verse.
