Quotes[edit]
- The despot’s heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple-door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle-queen of yore,
Maryland, my Maryland!- My Maryland; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
- Hushed in the alabaster arms of Death
Our young Marcellus sleeps.- John Pelham; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
- Gentlest and bravest in the battle-brunt—
The Champion of the Truth—
He bore his banner to the very front
Of our immortal youth.- John Pelham; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
