V.
Should they thence, to fair VIRGIN'Y Bend a squadron to DUNMORE, Still with fear and ignominy, They shall quit the hostile sh.o.r.e.
VI.
To CAROLINA or to GEORG'Y, Should they next advance their fame, This land of heroes shall disgorge the Sons of tyranny and shame.
VII.
Let them rove to climes far distant, Situate under Arctic skies, Call on Hessian troops a.s.sistant, And the Savages to rise.
VIII.
Boast of wild brigades from Russia, To fix down the galling chain, Canada and Nova Scotia, Shall discharge these hordes again.
IX.
In NEW-YORK State rejoin'd by CLINTON, Should their standards mock the air, Many a surgeon shall put lint on Wounds of death received there.
X.
War, fierce war, shall break their forces, Nerves of tory men shall fail, Seeing HOWE with alter'd courses, Bending to the western gale.
XI.
Thus, from every bay of ocean, Flying back, with sails unfurl'd, Tost with ever-troubl'd motion, They shall quit this smiling world.
XII.
Like Satan banished from HEAVEN, Never see the smiling sh.o.r.e, From this land so happy, driven, Never stain its bosom more.
_The End._
