When S-ND-CH hangs in fatire's chains,
And S-CK-LLE's ghoft haunts || Minden plains,
When history has damn'd 'em :

The muse shall confecrate thy name,

And give LEE to immortal fame,

With WASHINGTON and HAMPDEN.

TO THE EDITOR,

BY THE SAME.

THOUGH my friend General Burgoyne and

his army have laid down their arms, yet they were invincible whilst they held them in their hands-This is my confolation-the campaign has not answered our expectations. Ego & Rex meus are difappointed-One army being prifoners at Bofton, and another army, fhut up, in Philadelphia, are (it must be owned)

rather

our fire, and returned it with great fpirit, till a fhot pierced the upper works of his ship, when he immediately unmoored, cut his cables, and got under fail, with the whole fleet, confifting of eight ships, two fnows, and one brig. In short, the enemy were compelled once more to make a disgraceful and precipitate retreat."-Bofton Gazette.

And haunt the places where their honour died. POPE

rather unlucky accidents-But let it be confidered that we have only fixty thousand men in America, (Gen. Burgoyne and his army included.) Thirty or forty thousand more may do great things, and perhaps reduce the rebels to unconditional fubmiffion in five or fix campaigns. I took up the pen from a generous motive; to celebrate our fuppofed victories, to display the glory of Old England, the extenfion of our commerce, the wisdom of our minifters, the magnanimity of our monarch, and the hap pinefs of the people-As it is my ardent wish to raise the spirits of my defponding countrymen, I ftill think the publication of the following chearful Ode (though a little mal-a-propos at prefent as to facts) may prove a national benefit.

ODE,

SING Io Peans, through the land,
No more the yankey cowards ftand
Who bafely meant t' enflave us:
We've flay'd their virgins-babes and wives,
With tomahawks and fcalping knives,
*Which GoD and NATURE gave us.

Our bayonets have op'd their veins,
The congrefs quaking in our chains
Are" deftin'd to the cord ;"

-Yet ftill they talk of rights and laws,
And fay they fell in freedom's cause
Beneath a tyrant's fword!

Traitors ring from every tongue,

The king-the king-can do no wrong!

* Lord Suffolk's speech.

Thefe

Thefe knaves talk common fenfe! Array'd in terrors let him shine

And imitate the wrath divine,

'Tis in his own defence!

"Grac'd with all the power of words
"So known-fo honour'd by the lords,"
Our Tully will harangue 'em :
Ambitious Twitcher act Jack Ketch,
And gratify his loyal letch,

Both to impeach and hang 'em.

Sam Johnson rob'd in gown and band,
With that fam'd pamphlet in his hand
Which charm'd the British nation;

Will tune his wit to gibe and fcoff,
And roar (just as they're turned off)

Bold G-rm-e cries out- ." Who's afraid,"
Then nobly draws his conquering blade,
Yet ftain'd with Minden's flaughter;

-He fpares no rebel-live or dead,

For lo, he fmites off

Cushing's head,

And flogs his wife and daughter.

The fevere punishment defigned for this gentleman, and his family, was probably owing to his lordship's having difcovered that Mr. Cufhing had conceived an idea of being

elected

Franklin fhall Sawney's vengeance feel,
And die by neither rope or steel,

But take a daring flight;

-To heaven he mounts in chains of wire

To perish by his § stolen fire,

Ty'd to a paper-kite.

elected king by the revolted colonies. I am indebted to my learned friend, Dr Johnson, for this anecdote, to which he alludes by faying, "If their rights are inherent and unde"rived, they may by their own fuffrages encircle by a diadem "the brows of Mr. Cufhing."

Taxation no Tyranny, p. 234.

It is clear beyond a poffibility of doubt, that this archpatriot, philofopher, modern Prometheus, and rebel, is an old offender. The folicitor general was therefore highly commendable for calling him a thief. He proved the charge (to the entire fatisfaction of the k- and council) by a quotation from Zanga. Mr. Wilfon, it is to be hoped, will drefs up the doctor for his execution with a few blunted con. ductors.

This co-operation between the generals, was exprefsly ordered by the military cabinet, at the inftance of Lord M- nefield; the fecretary for the colonies prevailed on his royal mafter, to give Mr. Clinton, a red ribband, to enable him to perform this manceuvre.
