Mekhanik [1.2K]

He aims to give the public a sense of duty, that their young ones would not see struggle. He persuaded the American colonists to defend their Continent by convincing them that they are entitled to a life of freedom and happiness, and that "America will never be happy 'till she gets clear of foreign dominion" meaning that their life and happiness depends on their victory against the British.

As a result, he wants Peter Quince to include a ballad about his dream during the play: "I will get Peter Quince to write a ballad of this dream."
