THE REVERSE.
TH E old tory rout
Had spread round about,
That our brave Wayne, with five hundred,
Were taken or Slain,
Upon Georgia's plain ;
But, tories you've cursedly blunder'd.
The case was, one Brown,
Had march'd out of § town,
Well arm'd and prepar'd for a tramp;
But Wayne was aware,
Prepar'd for the snare,
And drove that Brown into a fwanbp.
Some ran and some fell,
As Waynes bay'nets tell,
Our hero charging with glory ;
Mars victory gave
To Americans brave,
Charles TbomJon proclaims it —yetory.
§ Savanna, in Georgia,
Fgols have Fortune.
THE fool, that is wealthy, is sure of a bride,
Foi riches, like fig-leaves, his nakedness hidei
But t it have, that is poor, may starve all his life
Ina bachelor, bed, without midrefs or wife.
In the good bays of'yore, they ne'er troubled their heads
With lettlift if jointures, or making of deeds ;
But AdaHTand "Eve, at their Frit intercourse,
Ev n took one a mother for better for worse.
Then pother, dear Cloe, ne'er airr to be great;
Let love be thy jointure, ne'er mind an eltate.
You can never be poc r, who have so many charms ;
And I (hail be rich, when Iv'c you in my arms.
