ARTHUR SINCERE. The Auctioneer General

Bold in the senate, daring in the field, In peace a monitor, in war a shield; Long days of toiling hardship has he past, To drive the daring Briton from our coast; With other sons of liberty he prest Where danger threat'ned ev'ry patriot breast Bore the blue stripes where death has star' around, And humbled Britains crosses with the groun The guardian angels high respect his name He early led our banners up to same.
