Should warlike weapons fail us, disdaining slavish fears,To swords we'll beat our ploughshares, our pruninghooks to spears,And rush, all desperate! on our foe, nor breathe till battle won;Then shout, and shout America! and conquering Washington! Proud France should view with terror, and haughty Spain revere,While every warlike nation would court alliance here.And George, his minions trembling round, dismounting from his throne,Pay homage to America, and glorious Washington! — George Washington's Mount Vernon, The Music of Washington's World series.
