Epigram For King George III And The Fourth Of July, 1776
After he forced the hated tax on tea
to pay off the East India Company's
outstanding debts, Farmer George stupidly
misjudged the fierce resolve these colonies
felt to remove themselves from monarchy
and its ignoble aristrocracy;
to follow a precedent from history
and, with utmost determination, seize
what John Milton called "strenuous liberty."
