A PARODY on "The Watry God" occasioned by General
Washington's late successes in the Jersies.
  As Mars, great God of battles! lay,
  In dalliance soft and amorous play,
  On fair Bellona's breast;--
  Surpris'd he rear'd his hoary head,
  The conscious Goddess shook with dread,
  And all her fears confess'd.
