Phillis Wheatley - A RebusPhillis Wheatley - A Rebus
Work rating: Low


I. A bird delicious to the taste, On which an army once did feast,    Sent by an hand unseen; A creature of the horned race, Which Britain`s royal standards grace;    A gem of vivid green; II. A town of gaiety and sport, Where beaux and beauteous nymphs resort,    And gallantry doth reign; A Dardan hero fam`d of old For youth and beauty, as we`re told,    And by a monarch slain; III. A peer of popular applause, Who doth our violated laws,    And grievances proclaim. Th` initials show a vanquish`d town, That adds fresh glory and renown    To old Britannia`s fame.
