SONG.__TO THE TUNE OF SHAMBUOY.
Independents of old, as in history we're told,
Were the cause of Old England`s undoing;
And our New-Angland breed, wou'd most gladly succeed,
To involve church and state, in one ruin,
With grumbling and jars, they promote civil wars.
And preach up false tenets,--too many:
They snarl and they bite, and they rail and they fight,
For religion, --without having any.
