WK EN Bgtifh troops firft landed herd,
With HOWE Commander o'er them,
They thought they'd make us quake for fear,
And carry all before them:
With thirty thousand men, or more,
And she without afliftance,
AMERICA mud needs give o'er.
And make no more refinance.
Fol, 101, fol, 101, &c.
But WASHINGTON, her glorious son,
Of British hosts the terror,
Soon, by repeated overthrows,
Convic'd then! of their error:
Let PRINCETON and let Trenton tell,
What gallant deeds he's done, Sir;,
And Monmouth's plains, where hundreds fell,
And thoufaids more have run, Sir,
111.
CORNWALLIS too, when he approach'd
Virginia's old dominion,
Thought he wotild soon her conqu'rer be ;
' And so was North's opinion;
From State to State, with rapid stride,
His troops had march'd before, Sir,
Till quite elate with martial pride,
He'thought all dangers o'er, Sir.
3ut OCR ALLIES, to hig surprise.
The Chesapeake had enter'd;
And now, too late, he curs'd his fate,
And wifn'd he ne'er had ventur'd :
For WASHINGTON no footer knew
The visit he had paid her,
Than to his parent State he flew,
To crush the bold invader.
V.
When he set down before the town*,
His Lordship soon furrender'd:
His martial pride he laid aside,
And cas'd the British ftapdard.
GODS! How this stroke will NORTH provoke^
And all his thoughts confufe, Sir !
And how the Peers will hang their ears,
When firft they hear the news, Sir !
VI.
Be Peace, the glorious END of War,
By this event effected:
And the name of W ASHINGTON
To latest times refyeded :
Then let us toast AMERICA,
And F RANCE in union with her;
And may Great-Britain rue the day,
Her hostile bands came hither.
