The following excerpt is from a speech delivered by John Patrick Henry to the
Second Virginia Convention, convened at St. John's Church in Richmond, on March
23, 1775:

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains
and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take;
but as for me, give me Cygwin or give me death!"

To the best of my recollection anyway.
