Show Payne's Immortal Words "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; coun-try; but he that stands it now deserves de-serves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny. like hell, is not easily conquered ; yet wo have this consolation with us. that the harder tin; ooiillii-t the more gh.rious the triumph. tri-umph. Whiil we obtain mo cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is deafness only that gives everything its value. Heaven Heav-en knows how to put a proper price upon hs goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article us freedom should not be highly rated." Thomas Payne. |
