Poems, Serious and Sarcastical,
Songs, Loyal and Humourous,
Constitutional Toasts and Sentiments, &c. &c.
By a Briton in New-York.
Containing upwards of twenty loyal, warlike, and humourous
songs, martial airs and animating chorus's:
The Kiss and Dollar, a scrap of exquisite pigtail:
St. Andrew and Lord Chatham, a metaphorical poem:
The Volunteer at Sea, a sarcasm:
A Variation, or puzzle in rhyme:
A Paraphrase on the first two verses of the seventy second
psalm, very applicable to the times:
Answers to Enigma:
Extempore flights;
Recitatives with airs, designed for serenades;
Hymns on victory, for Christmas day and Sunday;
With a great number of constitutional toasts and sentiments,
new and altogether unknown to the public in general, a small
part only to the author's friends:
Added by way of preservation the good old song called
Nottingham Ale, with a copy of a letter from London, 1770,
to Dr. Rogers, in New-York, from the original.
Declares the mischief then was brewing,
How some divines contemplate ruin.
