THE EXPEDITION TO DANBURY, UNDER THE COMMAND OF GENERAL
TRYON, TO DESTROY THE STORES OF BEEF, PORK, AND RUM.
Scene, New York. 
Without wit, without wisdom, half stupid and drunk,
And rolling along arm in arm with his punk,
The gallant Sir William, who fights all by proxy, 
Thus spoke to his soldiers, held up by his doxy.
. . . [142 lines] [signed] Comus.
