I Know Not What Course Others May Take!

Is life so dear? Or peace so sweet! As to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take! But as for me... Give me liberty or give me death! ~Now... Who amongst you have heard that before? ~ 'I have Mister Potts. My mom said that just last night to my dad.' ~You amuse, Mister D Plus! But no! That statement is part of Patrick Henry's famous 'Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death' speech. Delivered March 23,1775... To the House of Representatives. And I expect you all to have that memorized by next week! ~ 'Geeesshhh, Mister P. It took me longer than that to understand Jay-Z's 'Blueprint'. And it was 'representin' in quite a few houses. I know not what course others may take... Mister Potts. But this one I ain't recommendin' to nobody! ' ~I see you've come with jokes, Mister D Plus! Do you wish that to be a Minus? ~ Note: 'Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death' Had been delivered to the House of Representatives March 23,1775 The title of my poem, 'I Know Not What Course Others May Take' is a line from that famous speech by Parick Henry.
