With his brother Burgoyne, He's forc'd now to join,
And a treaty of peace for to want ; Says he ne'er will fight, But will give up his right
To taxation, and freely recant.

They have brought to such pass. Too late are proposals extant;
America's lost,
Our glory at most Is only that—tyrants recant.
