The miscellaneous works of David Humphreys | ||
The tricks of state his soul indignant scorn'd,
Thence candid policy his sway adorn'd:
Faith, honour, justice, honesty his aim,
And truth and Washington were but one name.
When war arose in many a foreign land,
A firm neutrality his wisdom plann'd;
Though warring pow'rs alternate show'd their rage,
At length they own'd the system just and sage.
