A NEW SONG.
To the plaintive tune c/'Hoficr’# Ghofl.
AS near beauteous Boston lying
On the gentle fuelling Hood,
Without jack or p:ndaot flying
Three ill fated Tea (hips rode :
2 Just as glorious Sol was setting,
On the wharf a numerous crew,
Sons of Freedom, fear forgetting,
Suddenly appear’d in view.
3 Arm’d with hammer, ax and chifTcb,
Weapons new for warlike deed.
Towards the herbage freighted tclTJs,
They approach’d with dreadfu' speed.
4 O’er their heads aloft in mid sky.
Three brig t %ngcl forms were seen ;
Tbit was HAMi’D'tN that t^a* Sidney,
With fair Liberty between.
5 “ Soon <hcy cry’d, your foes you’ll banilh,
So n the triumph (h II be weo ;
“ Scarce sh iH feting Phce us vanilh.
‘ ’Ere the deathtlefs deed be done ”
6 Quick as thought th- sh p» were boarded.
Hatches burst a 0 clefts, difplay’d ;
Axes, hammers, he.p afforded ;
What a gloi ous cralh they made !
"j Sq >-fh into the deep <>efceoded
Curled w-ed of China'* coast——
Thus at once our fears were ended ;
British rights (hall ne’er be ’oft.
8 Captaint ! Once more hoifl your flreamers,
Spread your fads, ani plow the ware !
Tel your mafteis they were dreamers,
When they thought to cheat the Brave.
