THE SCOURGE.  NUMBER III.
Saturday, February 12, 1780,
Can ye, O Britons, unconcern'd behold,
Your rights invaded, & your country sold!
See Freedom tottering on the brink of fate;
Her friends imprison'd, and her foes elate!
No--one more glorious struggle let us make
And if we fail--we'll perish for her sake:
Freedom alone, to Life can relish give,
And ceasing to be free, let's cease to live.
