Social Commentaries
We've fought for Peace, and conquer'd it at last,
The rav'ning vulture's leg seems fetter'd fast!
Britons, rejoice! and yet be wary too:
The chain may break, the clipt wing sprout anew.
We've conquered us a Peace, like lads true metalled:
And Bankrupt Nap's accounts seem all now settled.
