Question

In a poem titled for a “Vow” to this person, the speaker calls out, “O City sitting by the Sea! / How proud the day that dawned on thee.” In a letter, this person noted, “however undeserving I may be of such encomium and panegyrick (“pan-uh-JIGH-rihk”)” in addressing a poem that describes “when Eolus (“AY-oe-luhs”) heaven's fair face deforms.” A poem addressed to this person describes a figure whose golden hair is bound by “Olive and laurel” (-5[1])and depicts when “Gallic powers (*) Columbia's fury found.” (10[1])This person is “Fam'd for thy valour, for thy virtues more” in a poem that lists, “A crown, a mansion, and a throne that shine.” This man is addressed in a poem that opens, “Celestial choir! enthron'd in realms of light.” For 10 points, name this politician whose “Excellency” titles a Phillis Wheatley poem about his time (10[1])as a Revolutionary War general. ■END■
