ON ADMIRAL VERNON'S TAKING PORTO BELLO.
To the tune of ---- Sally.
   When Admiral Vernon first assail'd
   The Spanish Porto Bello, 
   'Twas thought the project wou'd have fail'd, 
   But Britons have no fellow.
   And had they went to Panama, 
   And plunder'd Spanish don a, 
   Th'ad serv'd them right, for Jenkins's Ear, 
   But we despise L'argent-a.
   . . . [5 more verses]
