TOM. GAGE'S PROCLAMATION
or blustering denunciation . . . [5 more lines introduction]
Whereas the rebels hereabout,
Are stubborn still, and still hold out;
Refusing yet to drink their tea,
In spite of Parliament and Me;
. . . [18 lines]
I can, like Jammy at the Boyne,
Look safely on - Fight you Burgoyne;
And mowe, like grass, the rebel Yankees,
I fancy not these Doodle dances: -
. . . [40 more lines, signed] Tom. Gage. by command of
Mother Cary. Thomas Flucker, Secretary.
