Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Newport, Rhode
Island, to one in this town, Aug. 29. 1765. . . [re. the
hanging of the effigy of the Stampman; third para. from
bottom of col.:]
On one of the posts out of reach, Whoever attempts, in any
way whatsoever, to render ineffectual this mark of public
contempt, will be deem'd an enemy to liberty, and incur the
resentment of the town.--On the other, at the same height,
the following song.
He for a post, or base sordid pelf [sic],
His country betrays, makes a rope for himself;
Of this an example before you we bring,
In these infamous rogues, who in effigy swing. . .
. . . [3 more verses]
Chorus,---Sing Tantarara, burn all, burn all,
Sing Tantarara, burn all.
. . . [1 1/4th cols. in all]
