tōs annōs vīxit, nec libenter; nam trāditum est eum esse solitum dīcere senī miserrimum esse exsilium.
Sed ut ad Americanos redeamus, ab eīs diū ac variā fortūnā bellum cum Britannis gestum est. At paulātim oppida prōvinciārum, quae ad meridiem spectant, rursus in potestātem Americānōrum venērunt, ac Cornivallis, quī iam ibi bellum gerēbat, in Virginiam postrēmō sē recipere coāctus est; quā in prōvinciā summā cum licentiā rapere et agere coepit omnia.
Vasingtō autem iam aderat cum exercitū sociīsque Gallicīs; et Cornivallis in urbe mūnitissimā, quae Eborācopolis appellātur, undique obsessus, oppugnātiōnem duōs mēnsēs aegrē sustinuit. Tum hostēs, cum frūstrā ērumpere conātī essent parsque mūnītiōnum ab Americānīs esset expugnāta, sē suaque omnia Vasingtōnī dēdidērunt. Cornivallis autem ipse, nē suis oculīs Ignōminiam exercitūs vidēret, eō diē sē esse aegrum simulābat, atque in tabernāculō, donec dēditiō est facta, maestus morātus est.
Hāc victōriā nūntiātā, Americānī ecfrēnātē gaudēbant ac senātus in templum convocātus dīs grātiās maximās ēgit.
