Subject(s): American Revolution
YE sons of Sedition, how comes it to pass
That America's typ'd by a Snake -- in the grass?
Don't you think 't is a scandalous, saucy reflection,
That merits the soundest, severest correction?
New-England's the Head, too; -- New-England's abus'd,
For the Head of the Serpent we know should be bruis'd.
