From the Maryland Gazette.
A POEM, Occasioned by his Majesty's most gracious
Benevolence to his British colonies in America, lately
invaded by the French.
The muse that us'd in silvan strains to sing,
To sport in fields, and chaunt the blooming spring,
Or erst (a more ungrateful task) to storm,
At party wiles, and factions hideous form;
. . . [85 lines follow]
The joyful acclamations ring around,
The shrill trumpets play, the hoarse cannon roar,
and echoing thunders roll from shore to shore.
. . . [4 lines follow]
