Some of our patriots, in the dark,
May try to aid you in your "wark;"
But, muzzl’d, they can only bark,
And loungers prove in the morning.

Against our trade you try your skill;
But that won’t bring us to your will
While we can rise in the morning.

Our sentiments on such a day,
Permit, me, in your name, to say

Then Bonaparte, &c.
