From the Freeman's Journal.
ON SIR HENRY CLINTON'S RECALL.
The dog that is beat has a right to complain,--
Sir Harry returns a disconsolate swain
To the face of his master, the Devil's anointed,
To the country provided for thieves disappointed.
. . . [17 verses]
Now with "Britons, strike home!" --your sorrows dispel,
Away to your master, and honestly tell,
That his arms and his artists can nothing avail,
His men are too few, and his tricks are too stale;
. . . [1 more verse]
