Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1860-11-10

WIN nature ana with GOu
There was but enc who thus retired
From conquests power and pride,
For which ambition hath so oft
In madness striven and died.
There was but one. Dost ask his name I?
Meath fair Virginin's sky
Go find Mt. Vernon s sopulchre
And heed its answering sigh.
