From the Lyon's Mouth.

T ORD NORTH has lent over an Army and Fleet,
u 4 to make us Americans bow to his Feet;
,' But Aon we will teach him he is not a Pope,
And instead of our Kifa we'll give him a Rope.
If
Col. Grant and Lord Sandwich said they, cou'd
- fubiluc us,
Why-don't they attempt it and come over to us.
We loon will convince them and all other Knaves,
Americans never, will never be Slaves.

Lord Percy, defeended from old Chevy Chace,
At Lexington ventur'd to ihew his fair face ;
But our rankles affembl'd— die Hero alack!
Inßead of his Forehead loon ihew'd 'em his bach.
IV.
'Twas laid that his Lordfeip did not take delight in
What all ourtrue Buckfins are fond of, bufofighting
But we find its a lie, for the news papers fay
He lent an old woman's scalp home t'other day.
V.
Here's health to all those who for Liberty fight,
We'll drink them in Bumpers the rest of the night,
Brave Wafoington, Putnam, Gates, Arnold, and Lee
Those five great defenders of our Liberty.
VI.
Our Congref, like Romans so famous of old,
Are true to their country, not tainted by gold,
Their names are immortal and far will lurpafs
Monumental inscriptions on Marble or Brass.
VII.
We don't wife to live independent of those,
Who at prefect are aching against us as foes;
We alwgs endeavour'd to make Britain thrive
Like Bees bringing Honey to one common hive.
VIII.
But should the Scotch Junto, of Britons afraid, /
Apply to the Empress of Rufa tor aid,
That moment we fee in this country a Russ
There's an end to the uhion 'twixt England and us.
IX.
May the eyes of the King toon be open'd to fee
We are his good fubjeOs, his slaves ewe'll not be;
Leave our freedom untouch d, then united we'll sing
Com fill up your bumpers here's God save the King.
