Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Smyth, Alexander (search)

C., on Washington's birthday in 1814, the following toast was offered: General Smyth's petition to Congress to die for his country — May it be ordered that the prayer of said petitioner be granted. A wag wrote on the panel of the door of the House of Representatives: All hail, great chief! who quailed before A Bisshopp on Niagara's shore; But looks on Death with dauntless eye, And begs for leave to bleed and die. O my! Concerning his pompous proclamations and his signal failure in performances, a wag wrote: Just so (and every wiser head the likeness can discover) We put a chestnut in the fire and pull the embers over; Awhile it waxes hot and hotter, and eke begins to hop, And, after much confounded pother, explodes a mighty Pop! General Smyth had many good social qualities, and had troops of friends. He was a faithful representative of his district (in Virginia) in Congress from 1817 to 1825, and again from 1827 until his death in Washington, D. C., April 17, 1830
