7 Jan 1778:22 (116)
A NEW SONG to the old tune of "Black Joke, "  --Send us by
an officer of the Queen's Rangers.
Ye brave honest subjects, who dare to be loyal, 
And have stood the brunt at every trial, 
Of hunting shirts and rifle guns;
Come listen a-while, and I'll sing you a song, 
I'll show you, those Yankies are all in the wrong, 
Who with blustring look, and a most aukward gait, 
'Gainst their lawful Sov'reign dare to prate, 
[burden:] With their hunting shirts and rifle guns.
. . . [6 verses more]
