Analysis of Intro to Chapter VIII. Campaign of 1782
Joseph Plumb Martin 1760 (Becket, MA) – 1850 (Stockton Springs, ME)
A man with morbid pains opress'd
Who feels the nightmare in his breast;
Rejoices when the pressure's o'er,
And the distress is felt no more:
So war and tumults, when they cease
Bring comfort in the thoughts of peace.
