_ * * * * * THE BATTLE OF STONINGTON, ON THE SEABOARD OF CONNECTICUT.
BY PHILIP FRENEAU.
_In an attack upon the town and a small fort of two guns, by the_RAMILLIES_, seventy-four gun ship, commanded by Sir Thomas Hardy; the_PACTOLUS_, 38 gun ship; _DESPATCH_ brig, and a razee, or bombship, --August, 1814. _ Four gallant ships from England came Freighted deep with fire and flame, And other things we need not name, To have a dash at Stonington.
    Now safely moor'd, their work begun, They though
...t to make the Yankees run, And have a mighty deal of fun In stealing sheep at Stonington.
    A deacon then popp'd up his head, And Parson Jones's sermon read, In which the reverend doctor said That they must fight for Stonington.
    A townsman bade them, next, attend To sundry resolutions penn'd, By which they promised to defend With sword and gun old Stonington.
    The ships advancing different ways, The Britons soon began to blaze, And put th' old women in amaze, Who feared the loss of Stonington.
