From a London paper of December 2, 1777.
ON THE BRITISH COMMANDERS.
Gage nothing did, and went to pot,
Howe lost one town, another got;
Guy nothing lost, and nothing won,
Dunmore was homewards forced to run;
Clinton was beat and got a garter,
And bouncing Burgoyne catch'd a Tarter.
Thus all we've got for millions spent,
Is to be laugh'd at, and repent.
