SONGSTER. 127
Now remember, you Briton, far distant is the day,
That all you gain'd by British force, you lust in
America;
Go teUyour king and parliament, by all the world its
known.
That British force by sea and land by Yankees is
o'erthrown.
Use ev'ry endeavor to try to cause a peace,
Por Yankee ships are building fast, their navy to increase
;
They will enforce their commerce; their laws hy
heaven were made.
That Yankee ships, in time of peace, to any port
might trade.
Grant us free trade and commerce; don't impress our
men.
Give up all claims to Canada, then we'll make peace
again;
Then, England,we'll respect you, and treat you as a
friend;
Respect our flag and citizens, then all these wars wiU
end.
Our Rogers, in the President, will bum, sink, and
destroy,
ITie Congress, on the BrazU coast, your commerce
wiU annoy,
The Essex on the South Sea, will put out aU youi
lights.
