PL.777.030
10 Dec 1777:41 (108)
Mr. Humphreys, the following was written in commemoration of
the glorious action on the evening of the 4th of July last,
when a party of courageous Independents, headed by some of
their Rebel Chiefs, waged a most daring war against the
unenlightened windows of the Quakers, and other enemies to
their ridiculous independent scheme in this city. . .
[signed] Many.
What times are these? -- a perfect riddle!
Whence fled the scenes of former quiet?
Bless us! when patriots--hum the fiddle,
And generals form, and head the riot.
. . . [6 more verses]
