In our tri-state driving area within hours traveling time,
Is Princeton Battlefield our history’s founding paradigm.
A most consequential battle of our Revolution,
A survival victory over destitution.
“The Death of General Mercer at the Battle of Princeton”,
A painting depicting on horseback a fearless Washington.
Risking musket balls and rallying his troops to victory,
Restoring morale and shifting momentum laudatory.
“George Washington at Princeton” another well-known painting,
Standing tall with blue sash as Commander-in-Chief his ranking.
In the background red-coated prisoners and the Nassau Inn,
Which today still stands strong illustrating Democracy’s win.
The Battle of Princeton in our Revolution history,
Captured in two centuries old paintings revelatory.
