"Speak the Tongue that Shakspeare spoke"
By G. N.
The lines about which X. asks, are "We must be free or die, who speak the tongue That Shakspeare spake; the faith and morals hold Which Milton held," &c. They are in one of Wordsworth's glorious "Sonnets to Liberty" (the sixteenth), and belong to *us*, and not to the New-Englanders.
