TOM. GAGE'S PROCLAMATION,
or blustering denunciation,
(Replete with defamation.)
Threatening devastation,
And speedy jugulation,
Of the New English nation.--
Who shall his pious ways shun?
Whereas the rebels hereabout,
Are stubborn still, and still hold out;
Refusing yet to drink their tea,
In spite of Parliament and me;
. . . [21 lines]
I fancy not these doodle dances:--
. . . [40 lines, signed] Tom. Gage.
By command of Mother Cary,
Thomas Flucker, Secretary.
