Excerpt from Cincinnati: A Civic Ode
Baptismal sponsors gave Her virtuous patronymical and brave, From hoary chronicle and legend caught, And blazon of that laureled son of Mars, Whose purple heraldry of scars, (from fields of valorous duty brought,) Enriched patrician Rome with dower Of ancient honorable power.
The half-tradition old Of Cincinnatus told, Who cast aside the victor's brand and took In peaceful grasp the whetted pruning-hook, And drave the plowshare through the furrowed Was golden legend unto Washington [mold, And his compeers in patriotic arms, Who flung the sword and musket down, (their martial fields of glory won,) Shouldered the ax and spade, To wage a conquering crusade Against brute forces and insensate foes Besieged the stubborn shade, Subdued their savage farms, Builded the busy town, And bade the desert blossom as the rose.
