7-14 Feb 1769:1163 (1/29)
Spoken extempore by a young gentleman (who was drinking
Yorkshire ale) on hearing the following toast, "Success to
the two cans," (meaning the Americans and the Corsicans)
given by a gentleman who was drinking French Brandy punch.
There is no doubt they're brave and bold,
Success their names proclaim;
Ameri--cans their freedom hold,
And Corsi--cans the same.
