H.H.W.

"_Speak the Tongue that Shakspeare spoke_" (Vol. ii., p. 135.).--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.
