He had a leading part in bring-ing together the patriots who gathered on November 29,1773, first at Faneuil Hall, then at Old South MeetingHouse, to protest against the landing of the tea fromthe ship Dartmouth, and he was one of the men who,on December 16, in Indian disguise, threw £18,000worth of tea into the harbor. In preparation for therallying of the men of the tea party at the GreenDragon, the following ditty was composed: Rally Mohawks! bring out your axes,And tell King George well pay no taxes On his foreign tea.His threats are vain, and vain to thinkTo force our girls and wives to drink His vile Bohea!Then rally boys, and hasten onTo meet our chief at the Green Dragon. Old Warrens there, and bold Revere,With hands to do, and words to cheer, For liberty and laws;Our countrys brave and free defendersShall neer be left by true North-Enders Fighting Freedoms cause!
