derers hired and Indian savages loose to destroy
those who stood up to defend their homes and liberties
That was the first grand attempt How it failed the
world needs now to be told The robber was beaten
off, But did he relinquish his evil designs On the
contrary he laid his plans in the very depths of astute
inexperienced inquity, matured them throughout the
