-Pope.

"We meet," said Penn, "on the broad pathway of good faith and good will. No advantage shall be taken on either side, but all shall be openness and love. The friendship between you and me I will not compare to a chain; for that the rains might rust or the falling tree might break. We are the same as if one man's body were to be divided into two parts; we are all one flesh and blood."

Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,

And fired the shot heard round the world.
