126 UNITED STATES
The Wasp next took your Frolic, you nothing said
to that
The Poictiers being off the coast of course you took
her back.
Next, your Macedonian, no finer ship could swim,
Decatur took her gilt work offhand then hetookherin.
The Java by a Yankee ship was sunk, you all must
know.
The Peacock fine, in all her pride, by Lawrence down
did go.
Then you sent your Boxer, ta beat us all aoout
But we had an Enterprising brig, that beat the
Boxer out;
Then box'd her up to PortlauiL and moor'd her ofl
the town.
To show the sons»of liberty the Boxer of renown.
Then upon lake Eric, brave Perry had some fun.
You own he beat your naval f')rce, and caused them
to run;
While Chauncey on Ontario, the like ne'er known
before,
A British squadron beat complete; some took, some
ran ashore.
Then your ''Brave Lidian Allies," you sty I'd them
by that name.
Until they turn'd the tomahawk, then *• Savages,'^
became;
Your mean insinuations they despised from their
souls.
And join'd the sons of liberty, that scorn'd to be controll'd.
