The Same Ode Imitated.
[And has my Friend, uncheck'd by Fear]
To the Hon. W. H.
And has my Friend, uncheck'd by Fear,
With Braddock sail'd, a Volunteer,
And cross'd th'Atlantic Ocean;
Resolv'd to chase th'encroaching Gaul,
And on the Ohio's Banks to fall,
Or rise to quick Promotion!
With Braddock sail'd, a Volunteer,
And cross'd th'Atlantic Ocean;
Resolv'd to chase th'encroaching Gaul,
And on the Ohio's Banks to fall,
Or rise to quick Promotion!
What plume-crown'd Sachem, great in Arms,
What Nymph, renown'd for sable Charms,
Is Prisoner in your Tent?
How oft War's Kettle have you boil'd?
What rich Plantations have you spoil'd?
What Scalps to England sent?
What Nymph, renown'd for sable Charms,
Is Prisoner in your Tent?
How oft War's Kettle have you boil'd?
What rich Plantations have you spoil'd?
What Scalps to England sent?
What captive Youth behind your Chair
At Dinner waits, or trims your Hair;
Taught from his earliest Years
To speed the Arrow from the Bow;
Or, at the Bear, or British Foe,
To launch unerring Spears?
At Dinner waits, or trims your Hair;
Taught from his earliest Years
To speed the Arrow from the Bow;
Or, at the Bear, or British Foe,
To launch unerring Spears?

Sure now Ontario's boisterous Lake
His ancient Channel may forsake;
Or Niagara's Fall
Stop short; or solemn Leagues may bind
(Much stranger still!) th'ambitious Mind
Of Treaty-breaking Gaul;
His ancient Channel may forsake;
Or Niagara's Fall
Stop short; or solemn Leagues may bind
(Much stranger still!) th'ambitious Mind
Of Treaty-breaking Gaul;
Since You, my Friend, have thus elop'd,
And, tho' some rich Cathedral hop'd
To call you soon her Own,
Have chang'd the College for the Field,
To Bland made Clarke and Barrow yield,
And to the Sword the Gown.
And, tho' some rich Cathedral hop'd
To call you soon her Own,
Have chang'd the College for the Field,
To Bland made Clarke and Barrow yield,
And to the Sword the Gown.
