While Washington's a watchword, such as ne'er
Shall sink while there's an echo left to air.

The Age of Bronze (1823)

The "good old times" — all times when old are good —
Are gone.

The Age of Bronze (1823)

Where is he, the champion and the child
Of all that's great or little, wise or wild;
Whose game was empires, and whose stakes were thrones;
Whose table earth — whose dice were human bones?

The Age of Bronze (1823)

While Franklin's quiet memory climbs to heaven,
Calming the lightning which he thence hath riven,
Or drawing from the no less kindled earth
Freedom and peace to that which boasts his birth;
While Washington's a watchword, such as ne'er
Shall sink while there's an echo left to air.
