The D A N C E,
A Ballad, to the tune of " Yankey Doodle."
CORNWALLIS led a country dance,
~ Toe like was never seen, fir,
Much retrograde, and much advance,
And all with general Greene, fir.
IT.
They rambled op, and rambled down,
Join'd hands, then off they run, fir,
Our general Greene to Charleftown,
The earl to Wilmington, fir.
Ilf.
Gtne, in the south, then danc'd a set,
And got a mighty name, fir,
Cornwallis jigg'd with young Fayette,
But fuffered in his fame, fir.
IV.
Then down he figur'd to the shore,
Most like a lordly dancer,
And on his courtly honour swore,
He would no more advance, fir.
V.
Quoth be—my guards a # e weary grown,
With footing country dances,
They never at Saint James's (hone,
At capers, kicks or prances.
VI.
Though men so gallant ne'er were seen,
While faunt'ring on parade, fir,
Or wriggling o'er the park's smooth green/
Or at a masquerade, fir.
VIL
Vet are red heels, and long lac'd skirts,
For slumps and briars meet, fir,
Or Hand they chance with hunting shirts,
Or hardy veteran feet, fir.
VIII.
Now hous'd in York he challeng'd all,
At minuet or all'mande,
And lessons for a courtly ball,
His guards by day and night conn'd.
IX.
This challenge known, full soon there came,
A set who had the bon ton,
De Graffe and Rochambeau, whose fame,
Fut brillant pour un long terns.
X.
And Washington, Columbia's son,
Whom easy nature taught, fi r ,
That grace, which can't by pains be won,
Or Plutus' gold be bought, fir,
XI.
Now hand in hand they circle round,
This ever dancing peer, hr,
Their gentle movements soon confound.
The earl as they draw near, fir.
XII.
His music soon forgets to play=
His feet can move no more, fir,
And all his bands now curse the day.
They jigg'd it to our shore, fir.
xni.
Now tories all what can ye fay?
Come—ls not this a griper ?
That while your hopes are danc'd away,
'Tis you must pay the piper.
