One instance more, and only one I’ll bring;
’Tis the great man who scorns a little thing,
Whose thoughts, whose deeds, whose maxims are his own,
Form’d on the feelings of his heart alone:
True genuine royal-paper is his breast:
Of all the kinds most precious, purest, best.
Francis Hopkinson, a writer of miscellaneous essays, wrote “The Battle of the Keys,” which was founded upon a real historic incident.
THE BATTLE OF THE KEYS
Gallants attend and hear a friend
Trill forth harmonious ditty,
