The dog and the moon, : a fable..
[Edinburgh? : s.n.,
1767?]
A poem, on reading the fable of the dog and moon - first line reads: Hide, Cynthia, hide thy silver face.
Dated from internal evidence - possibly on the controversy which arose in 1767 upon the awarding of a royal patent, allowing plays to be performed legally, to David Ross, manager of the Canongate theatre? Opposition to this was led by George Stayley.
In two columns.
The dog and the moon - first line reads: A snarling cur, which could not bear.
