Should they touch at fair Rhode-Island,
There to combat with the brave,
Driven, from each hill, and high-land,
They shall plough the purple wave.
V.
Should they thence, to fair Virgin'y
Bend a squadron to Dunmore,
Still with fear and ignominy,
They shall quit the hostile shore.
VI.
To Carolina or to Georg'y,
Should they next advance their fame,
This land of heroes shall disgorge the
Sons of tyranny and shame.
VII.
Let them rove to climes far distant,
Situate under Arctic skies,
Call on Hessian troops assistant,
And the Savages to rise.
VIII.
Boast of wild brigades from Russia,
To fix down the galling chain,
Canada and Nova Scotia,
Shall discharge these hordes again.
