From the Maryland Gazette.
"Dearly beloved Brethren"
Joyful days at length have come!
Sound the trumpet, fife and drum;
Let the bagpipes squeak it briskly,
And the banjer strike up friskly!
. . . [27 more lines]
See ! Ingratitude begins
To announce the people's sins;
British goods, and British ware,
Is all they dream of--all their care!
Give 'em these, and as for France,
Let her stay at home and dance.
. . . [4 more lines]
[signed] A Tory.
