A NEW WAR SONG.  By Sir Peter Parker. 
Tune----:Well met Brother Tar.:
My lords, with your leave,
An account I will give, 
That deserves be written in metre;
For the rebels and I
have been pretty nigh,
Faith almost too nigh, for Sir Peter.
With much labour and toil, 
Unto Sullivan's isle,
I came, fierce at falstaff or pistol;
But the Yankies (add rat 'em
I could not get at 'em
Most terrible maul'd my poor Bristol!
