[Verse given after comment on Count De Grasse's failed
attempt to force a passage up the York river, above
Gloucester Point.]
When British glory once begins to fade,
Jemmy no more pursues his wonted trade,
Nor post nor pay can now bring out a word,
E'en Gazette Royal submits to the sword.
. . . [8 more lines on Rivington and Cornwallis]
