Quotes by William Billings

"Let tyrants shake their iron rod,    And Slav'ry clank her galling chains, We fear them not, we trust in God,    New England's God forever reigns."

William Billings

"Our life contains a thousand springs,And dies if one be gone.Strange that a harp of thousand stringsShould keep in tune so long."
