| Citation | BG.775.016 6 Nov 1775:42 (1068) THE MODERN VENI, VIDI, VICI. We came, we saw, but could not beat, And so--we sounded a retreat: On Roxbury Hill again, we saw 'em, And did like Devils clapper claw 'em, But warlike casuits can't discuss If we beat them, or they beat us: We swear we beat---they swear we lie--- We'll tell you more on't by and by. |
