ON THE REDUCTION OF CHARLESTOWN BY HIS MAJESTY'S FORCES.--A
Song composed by an Officer at Pensacola, as soon as the
glorious news reached that place.  
To the Tune of the "Watry God."
  I.
  King Hancock sat in regal state
  And big with pride and vainly great
  Address'd his rebel crew.
  These haughty Britons soon shall yield
  The boasted honours of the field
  While our brave sons pursue.
