On the Late Royal Sloop of War Gen. Monk (formerly the
Washington) mounting six quarter deck wooden guns.
  When the Washington ship by the English was beat,
  They sent her to England to shew their great feat,
  And Sandwich straightway, as a proof of his spunk,
  Dash'd out her old name and call'd her the Monk.
