Verses occasioned by the late victory obtain'd by Sir George
Brydges Rodney, over the Compte de Grasse.
  Once more, Britannia, rears her drooping head,
  And France retreating, shakes with panic dread!
  The British flag, high way'd in ambient air,
  Alarms the Gallic pride with fell[?] despair;
. . . [22 lines, signed] Rusticus.
