Crescit Amor Patriae Libertatisque Cupido
Be it known to the present, And to all future generations, That the Sons of Liberty in Taunton Fired with a zeal for the preservation of Their rights as men, and as American Englishmen, And prompted by a just resentment of The wrongs and injuries offered to the English colonies in general, and to This Province in particular, Through the unjust claims of A British Parliament and the Machiavelian policy of a British ministry, Have erected this monument or Liberty standard, As a testimony of their fixed resolution To preserve sacred and inviolate Their birthrights and charter rights, And to resist even unto blood All attempts for their subversion or abridgement. Born to be free, we spurn the knaves who dare For us the chains of slavery to prepare; Steadfast in freedom’s cause, we’ll live and die, Unawed by statesmen ; foes to tyranny, But if oppression brings us to our graves, And marks us dead, she ne’er shall mark us slaves.’
I hope will accept this Cunard Ad, because of the World Trade Centers being in the ad, also because of the *Date* of this ad, as this ad was printed just a couple of months before the attacks on the 2 towers *Summer 2001* see top hand corner of ad.
The other item is from american history too, as it was a major disaster in Boston in the 1940's *The Cocoanut Grove* and this is a photo of the matchbook I found from her before the fire, and isn't easy to find, taken me a lot of yrs to find a matchbook from the club.
