Delete comment from: Boston 1775
"THE REBEL'S SECRET REVEAL'D"
When dawn reveal'd the Rebel fort
One Abercrom was heard to retort
"With one advance we shall win the day!"
Alas, it did not turn out that way.
"Another charge and we no doubt win!"
Said Howe "Let the next advance begin!"
Yet failure again was their reward
Samuel Paine thought it quite untoward
Whilst over in Boston, Gage did muse
"What evil trick do these Rebels use?"
"Oh Mars! Reveal their secret power!"
"How can they hold out hour 'pon hour?"
In fact, 'twas all due to Snelling's drinks
- or so his son would have us thinks.
