Helas mon dieu 1 what shall I do 1
I smell the buminr sulphur ;
Set Biitaiu's Islrt, all rank and file.
Such men would soon engulf her.
That's full as bad—Oh ! I'll run mad;
Those western bounds are summon'd,
Gaines, Scott, and Brown, are coming down.
To serve me just like Drummond.
Thick too, as bees, the Vermontese
Are swarming to the lake, sir.
And Izard's men, come back again.
Lie hid in ev'ry brake, sir.
Good Brisbane, beat a quick retreat,
Before their forces join, sir.
For sure as fate, they've laid a bait
To catch us like Burgoyne, sir;
All round about keep good look out.
We'll surely be surrounded ;
Since I could crawl, my gallant soul
Was never so astounded.
The rout began, sir George led on.
His men ran belter skel'er.
Each tried his best t' outrun the rest.
To gain a place of shelter;
To hide their fear, they gave a cheer
And thought it mighty cunning—
He'll fight say they, another day.
Who saves himself by running.
The Irisli Sclioolniastcr.
Aa 8un^ hy Mr. SOMERVILLE, HI the NVwVork Theatret.
Old Teddy O'Rourke kept a bit of a school.
At a place called Clarina; and made it a rule.
