[Leap Year]

A Loyalist with Blyth design
his measures strave to lay
to have his Spouse bear him a Son
the twenty nynt of may
but sae it was he quite forgot
that it was a Leap year
which by a day just Baukd his plot
which had fawn out perqueir
and quite Reverse tho neer it Rung
which furnisht freinds with Laughter
in stead of giving Charles a Son
George honourd with a Dauchter
