Hamilton Greene + 

I was the only child of Frances Harris of Virginia + 

And Thomas Greene of Kentucky, + 

Of valiant and honorable blood both. + 

To them I owe all that I became, + 

Judge, member of Congress, leader in the State. + 

From my mother I inherited + 

Vivacity, fancy, language; + 

From my father will, judgment, logic. + 

All honor to them + 

For what service I was to the people! + 
