PLease help!! Read the stanza from “Occasioned by General Washington's Arrival in Philadelphia, On His Way to His Residence in Virginia.”

When Faction rear'd her bristly head,
And join'd with tyrants to destroy,
Where'er you march'd the monster fled,
Tim'rous her arrows to employ;
Hosts catch'd from you a bolder flame,
And despots trembled at your name.
