Ode for the Fourth of July
( Tis done! the edict pass'd, by Heav'n decreed ; See haughty Britain, sending hosts of foes ; Let Saratoga's crimson plains declare ; Now Yorktown's heights attract our wond'ring eyes ; Pale terror marches on with solemn stride ; Now from Mount Vernon's peaceful shades again ; Now shall the useful arts of peace prevail ; Fly! Fly! Fly, swift-wing'd Fame )
