poor tammy gage within a cage
was kept at boston—ha', man;

but at new york, wi' knife an' fork,
sir-loin he hacked sma', man.

till fraser brave did fa', man;
then lost his way, ae misty day,
in saratoga shaw, man.
wallis fought as ng's he dought,
an' did the buckskins cw, man;
but ton's give frae rust
