CORNWALLIS BURGOYN'D:  A Song.
To the tune of Maggie Lauder.
  When British troops first landed here, 
  With Howe commander o'er them, 
  They thought they'd make us quake and fear, 
  And carry all before them: 
  With thirty thousand men, or more, 
  And she without assistance, 
  America must needs give o'er;
  And make no more resistance. 
  Fol, lol, fol, lol, &c.
  . . . [5 more verses]
