CORNWALLIS BURGOYN'D.  A Song.  To the tune of "Maggie
Lauder."
I. 
When British troops first landed here, 
With Howe commander o'er them, 
They thought they'd make us quake for fear, 
And carry all before them: 
With thirty thousand men, or more, 
And she without assistance, 
America must needs give o'er,
And make no more resistance. 
Fol, lol, fol, lol, &c.
. . . [5 more verses] [signed] York.
