Copy of a third Pasquinade, stuck up in New-York when the
rebels were carrying off forage and burning houses in the
sight of General Clinton.
Has the Marquis la Fayette,
Taken off all our hay yet?
Says C--n to the wise heads around him:
Yes, faith, great Sir H--y,
Each stack did he carry,
And likewise the cattle--confound him!
. . . [1 verse]
For forage and house,
I care not a louse;
For revenge let the loyalists bellow;
To keep them in humour,
I swear I'll not do more,
Than play on my violoncello.
. . . [2 more verses]
