AMERICAN TAXATION.
I'll burn both town and city, With smoke becloud the day,
I'll show no human pity For North America.
Go on, my hearty soldiers,
You need not fear of ill— There's Hutchinson and Rogers,"
Their functions will fulfil— They tell such ample stories,
Believe them sure we mav, One half of them are tories
In North America.
My gallant ships are ready
To waft you o'er the flood. And in my cause be steady,
Which is supremely good; Go ravage, steal and plunder.
And you shall have the prey; They quickly will knock under
In North America.
