(From a London paper) We came, we saw, but could not beat, And so--we sounded a retreat: On Roxbury Hill again, we saw 'em, And did like Devils clapper-claw 'em, But warlike casuits can't discuss If we beat them, or they beat us : We swear we beat---they swear we lie--- We'll tell you more on't by and by. |
