At any rate I'm now content to
Avoid the scrape I have got into,
And publish here my resolution
Of blood to spare, the least effufion;
For fait proceeding in this pickle,
Who knows, wh@fe blood the next may trickle.
'Tis time in faith, to cry enough;
Heav'n prosper those that now leave off.
No more the Yankies I contemn;
Veurne alone and I will them ;
Those who in peace will henceforth live,
land his Majesty forgive ;
All but that arch-rogue, and firft grand cock,
Your Samuel Adams and 'John Hancock,
Where crimes are grown to that degree,
Imad hang them, or they'll hang me.
But further to explain, to th' end
That none may ignorance pretend,
I, ex cathedra, each Malfeazance,
That follows, rank with blackest treasons.
Whoe'er in future, without more said,
Associate with those knaves aforefaid,
Take arms to fight, or to conceal
Such traitors 'gainft the common weal,
Aid them with money, arms, provision,
Guns, carriages, or ammunition,
Assist their onset or retreat,
And help them, or to fight or eat,
Hold correspondence, us to weaken,
By letter, message, sign or beacon,
Know they, as traitors we shall watch 'em,
And hang they shall, if I catch 'em.
And now (for bravely we come on,
One more whereas, and then we've done.)
Whereas, as long as we (hall dwell on
This strange " unnatural rebellion,"
(For all rebellion, to a notch
Is natural only to the Scotch,
Tho' parliament have done their share,
To naturalize it ev'ry where)
Sincejuftice cannot take its course,
And common law's kick'd out of doors,
I, by the pow'r your charters grant,
(Find ye out how, for, faith, I can't)
Proclaim, to keep all rogues in awe,
The exercise of martial law,
So long and in such quantities,
As my great wisdom shall devise,
So without qualms or grumbling take it.
Or ropes shall trice the knaves, who break it,
But putting off this rage and fury,
I'm twice as glad again t' assure ye,
That all who in thia trying crisis,
Shall heed my peaceable advices,
Submit to me in ev'ry thing,
And lose their rights, to please the king,
Shall from my arm, which is not ihorc,
Obtain protection and support,
Such as I give the Boston tories
Who starve for heeding thus my dories,
Or venture each his worthless head,
Condemn'd to lift and fight for bread.
[lbo's Gage's Proclamation, concluded from our lafl.]
AAD now to tell the things that past
The nineteenth day of April last.
Of your armed rebels, twenty dozens,
Whom our fears multiplied to thousands,
(For fear supplies, in ways molt able,
The whole multiplication table,)
Attack'd our peaceful troops, I sent,
For plunder, not for daughter meant;
Wno little mifchief then had done,
But kill'd eight men at Lexington ;
Who ihow'd their love to peace and virtue,
And prov'd they'd no intent to hurt you :
For did not ev'ry reg'lar run,
As soon as e'er you fir'd a gun ;
And fearful if they flay'd for sport,
You might by accident be hurt,
Convey'd themselves with speed away,
Full twenty miles in half a day ;
Raced till their legs were grown so weary,
They'd scarce fuffice their weight to carry :
When you, unmov'd by all this kindness,
Purfu'd like tygers, still behind us;
And since assuming airs so tall,
Because we did not kill you all,
Have dar'd, with gibes and jeers confounded,
Insult the brave, whose backs ye wounded ;
(Tho' valour would with shame have burn'd,
To shoot folks when their backs are turn'd)
And bragging high, as tho' ye beat us,
No more mind regulars, than mufquitoes,
Fire on us at your will, and Ihut
The town as tho' ye'd Harve us out,
And with parade prepollrous hedg'd,
Affe& to hold us here befieg'd,
(Tho' we, who Rill command the seas,
Can run away when e'er we please)
Have fear'd the tories into town,
And burnt their hay and houses down,
And boast unless we quickly flee,
To drive us headlong to the sea,
As once to faithlcfs Jews a sign,
The de'el turn'd hogreeve, did the swine.
RUN away last Monday from the party of recruits
enlisted by the fubferiber, one John Smith, a
bout 25 years of age, 6 feet high, born in Hamfted
on Long-Island, but last from Litchfield, had on
a frock and striped trowfers, a small impediment in
his speech, but talks much^dark brown hair, has
been followed to the westward, and told on the road

Litchfield. Four Dollars reward and reasonable
charges will be paid to the person that shall take up
and return said run-away to Jonathan Gillet,
Lieut, in Capt. Rowley's Comp. Col. Huntington's
Regiment.
And all the tory-refugecs,
May now go home when'er they please ;
We've no occasion for such fluff;
We've Britiffi fools and knaves enough.
Whene'er they dare, without remissness,
Let them go off about their buf'nefs ;
Yet not with whigs and rebels link'd,
But kill hand feperate and dißina,
Till mercy aid your people undone,
And Heav'n dispatch me back to London.
