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:
*Gen. Sir William Howe, whose irregularities are now pretty
well known.
. . . [138 more lines]  Philadelphia, May 11. [signed]
Comus.
