This is fine. Anybody could have said it once; it takes a poet to repeat (cf. Poe's Ulalume, Swinburne's A Match, and many others).

Miss Page, who once wanted to be a history professor, gets all the facts in-Indian trouble, tax trouble, Patrick Henry's rebel-rousing, the Declaration, Trenton, Saratoga, Lafayette off Rhode Island, the Constitution and how it grew, the rise of the Republicans (later called Democrats), everything from A to the XYZ affair-but so sweetly does she coat her historical pill that it might well be prescribed for students who are sick...
