[Verses as editorial comments on news item concerning
militia duty required of citizens of New York City.]
Old Judas the traitor (nor need we much wonder)
Falling down from the gallows his paunch split asunder
Affording, 'tis likely, a horrible scent
Rather worse that the sulphur of hell, where he went.
. . . [12 verses]
Our city commandant must be an odd shaver
Not a single exception to make in their favour!--
Come let us turn round and rebelliously sing,
Huzza for the Congress! --The De'el take the King!"
