POETICAL V ERS ION OF THE CAPTURE OF PRESCOTT
’Twa s on a da rk an d stormy night
Th e wind and waves did roa r
Bold Ba rton then , with for ty men,
Went down upon th e shore .
And in a wha le—boa t they set off
To Rhode I s land fa ir ,To ca tch a redcoa t Genera l
Who then res ided there .
Th rough B r i t i sh fl eet s an d gua rd-boa t s strong
They held their dangerou s w ay,
Ti l l they a r r i ved unto thei r port,
And then did not de lay .
A tawny son o f Afr i c’s ra ceThem th rough th e rav ine led,
And enter ing then th e Over ing house,They found h im in h is bed
But to get i n they h ad no means
Except poor Cu ffee’
s head ,Who bea t th e door down , then rushed in
And sei zed h im in h i s bed .
‘ Stop $let me put my cloth ing on $’
Th e Genera l then d id pray‘Your cloth ing
,ma ssa
,I wi l l take ;
For dres s w e cannot stay .
’
Then through rye stubb le h im they led ,
With shoes an d cloth ing none,And placed h im in their boa t qu i te snug
,
And from th e shore were gone .
(‘Iapture nf lflrvzrntt 1 2 7
Soon th e a la rm w a s sounded loud :‘
Th e Yankees th ey have come,And stolen Prescott from h i s bed
,
And him have ca r r ied hum .
’
Th e drum s were bea t , sky—rocket s fl ewTh e sold ier s shouldered a rm s
,
And ma rched a round th e grounds they knew ,
Fil led w ith most d ire a la rms .
But th rough th e fl eet w ith muffled oa r s
They hel d the i r dev ious w ay,
And landed h im on’
Gan set t shores ,Where B r i ton s hel d no sway .
V J h en unto land th e captors came,Where r escue there w a s none
,
‘A bold pu sh th i s,
’
th e Genera l c r ied ,‘Of p r i soner s I am on e .
’
