A long poem by an older writer reflects on church hypocrisy and class, contrasting a wealthy woman at a parish church with a worn beggar, and condemns tyranny while praising England’s legal equality and religious freedom. The piece laments the need to restore Christian heritage amid modern scandalmongering and iconoclasm, asking who will mend this scandal.
Aimed at lovers and soldiers, the piece recounts courtships and marriages amid the American Revolution. It weaves tales of Nathaniel Greene and Lucy Flucker, Henry Knox and Catherine Littlefield, and Colonel Burr’s daring midnight raids for love, interlacing these romances with broader wartime events and social loyalties.
An extended scene in a ring-like arena shows a matador taunting a great black bull as spectators cheer. A clown is tossed by the bull, and two men in canvas bags provoke the animal with padded, roving danger. The matador then wounds the bull with barbed spears before delivering a final daring strike and the gate opens for departure. The General remarks the show is cruel and one-sided with no men killed.
