M'FINGAL: A MODERN EPIC POEM.
Canto First, or The Town Meeting.
  When Yankies skill'd in martial rule,
  First put the British troops to school;
  Instructed them in warlike trade,
  And new manoevres of parade;
  The true war dance of Yanky-reels,
  And val'rous exercise of heels;
. . . [3 lines]
  Taught Piercy fashionable races,
  And modern modes of Chevy chaces:
. . . [2 columns, to be continued]
