We give him credit there for a pretence,
He rather lik’d being made of Consequence.
The Battle, Trophies, Folks were so much wrapt in,
They made a mighty bustle ’bout the Captain.
Captain no more—for in the next Gazette,
Tho’ envious ones did vastly fume and fret,
In recompence for wonderous Renown,
Who seiz’d a Baton, and cut off a Crown:
As C——n for a precedent was quoted,
Lieutenant Colonel[107] was at once Promoted.
