The following lines were written extempore on Commodore Hyde
Parker, by a facetious clergyman, at Savannah, in Georgia,
in the beginning of 1779, on hearing of the Commodore's
excellent manoeuvre with respect to a quantity of indigo he
found in the stores of private persons, in Georgia, and
which he affected to say he would deliver to the owners, if
the property could be identified, having taken the necessary
precaution to shift the casks.
Hyde Parker! hide for shame your head,
And keep from Mrs. Crops's bed;
Nor deem yourself a commodore,
Who traffic with a common whore;
. . . [8 lines]
