(The picture is Nathan's oath to serve America as a spy.)
A poem by Nathan Hale to his Yale classmate and best friend Benjamin Tallmadge while he was away and missing him:
"Reviv'd a little by your letter
With hopes of speeding better
At length I venture forth once more,
But fearing soon to run ashore.
My thoughts had once convey'd you home,
In safety to your wonted dome;
But gladly went a second time,
Attended by your muse and rhyme.
That you are there, the single proof,
You bring, to me, is quite enough.
But here, I think you're wrong, to blame, Your gen'rous
muse, and call her lame."

Isn't it cute!!!? They were so cute! I love Ben and Nathan.
There's another poem that tears at the heartstrings but I can't find it for some reason, if it comes up I'll add it later.
Anyway I just wanted to share the cuteness of some of my favorite boys :)
