A PASTORAL ELEGY, set to musick by Signora Carolina. 
Jonathan.  Isaac. Isaac. (Adagio.)
O wherefore, brother Jonathan, 
So doleful are your features?
Say, are your rather poorly, man, 
Or have you lost your creatures?

Jonathan, with the last verse being a duet.  The content of
the song is satirical humor based on the then-triumphant
British opinion of the Revolutionary War.]
