Those who have gain’d are sorry for the gloom,

But they who lost, unwilling peace should come;

There open envy, here suppress’d delight,

Yet live till time shall better thoughts excite,

And so prepare us, by a six-years’ truce,

Again for riot, insult, and abuse.

Our worthy Mayor, on the victorious part,

Cries out for peace, and cries with all his heart;

He, civil creature! ever does his best

To banish wrath from every voter’s breast;
