Mr. Watson,
Being desired by a Maser of Music to Jet an Ode to
Northborough Tune---I have endeavoured to adapt
•he to the grandeur and solemnity of it. Such as 'tis
please to insert it in your Poet's Corner.
A universal SONG of PRAisE.
Set to Northborough Tune.
j ? O Music firing the vocal lyre,
But firft ye morning stars conspire,
To tune my trembling voice ;
Ye firft-born Sons of God who sung,
The rolling spheres to order sprung,
Assist me to rejoice.
a. All nature sings to nature's King,
The bellowing deep, the boisterous wind.
And woods in solemn fuge.
The whifp'ring rain, the rat'ling hail,
The murm'ring streams, and sighing gales, 1
Sing to the lofty judge.
3. The lions roar, the tigers growl,
The prowling wolves nocturnal howl.
Unite in rougher lays ;
The herds that low in ev'ry mead,
The bleating flecks and neighing lleed,
All mingle in his praise.
4. The scaly monsters of the deep,
A mountain float- ^an island sleep,,
And crawl, or walk, or graze,
The mild behemoth, and the whale,
The vengeful Ihark, and crocadile,
A boiftrous anthem raise.
5. How inftinf t tunes the vocal grove!
And make it all one bow'r of love,
How charming is the chord,
The cooing dove, the warbling thrush.
The red bread's chirp on ev'ry bufn,
Attune the praise of God.
6. The inftind race of various forms,
As the inspiring spirit warms,
In feebler accents praise ;
The murm'ring bee, the humming Hy,
The cricket and grafhopper by,
One hallelujah raise. , .
Mr. Watson,
j£your weekly Courant bears in its front this free,
candid, and open Declaration, viz Open to all Parties,
not under the Influence of any ; makes me hope thefol
lowing may have a Place in your next.
Truths would you teach, or save a finking Land,
All fear, none aid you, and few understand.
Pope.
THE present unhappy Differences subsisting
between Great-Britain and her colonies, be
ing very alarming, demands the aid of every reason
able individual to contribute his Mite for the good
of the Whole : therefore 'tis evident, that as irritat
ing and inflamatory Writings are the surest Engines
to blow up the diabolical Principles of sedition, ha
tred and difeord among a People, which, instead of
eradicating, or even mitigating the present Disor
ders of the Mind or Body politick, tends only to
make the Wound the more malignant, the Cure the
more hazardous to the most fkilful of the Profeffion,
and more perilous to the unhappy Patient, the desir
able Path of Peace, of Confidence, and mutual Ad
vantage of Trade betwixt Great-Britain and her
Colonies, the more precarious to theAmerican Mer
chants. For Instance. Let us suppose the Dele
. gates appointed by their refpedive Provinces and
Colonies, to form the American Congress
at Philadelphia or elsewhere, agree to adopt the Re
solve of Non-Importation. Will or can that Re
solve prevent the Britilh Merchants in Great-Britain
from fending Factors, with such Quantities, Quali
ties and Assortment of Goods as may and will be

ing out of Ships, &c. for foreign Trade and Com
merce, no Filling on our Banks nor Coasting with
Safety, our Vessels and Navigators would in such a
Dilemma, be liable by the Ships of all Nations to
be made Prizes of, and our molt ufeful Men carried
in Captivity, or worse, by being liable to be treated
as Pirates, for want of legal Custom-House Clear
ances. If the Delegates appointed to form the Con
gress ffiould convene, may Wisdom preside in their
Counfela. The above Remarks I leave to the
wanted ? they knowing as well and better than we,
the different Assortment of Goods the different Co
lonies require for their refpe&ive Confumtions. Or,
mould His Majesty think fit to withdraw his Troops
from our Towns, his Ships of War from our Har
bours, would this avail to the relief of Boston in
particular, or to America in general ? No, by no
Means, but much the reverse ; would such a Plan
by His Majesty and Council be thought expedient,
then would our Custom-Houses be shut up, no clear-
Consideration of the candid Public, who 'tis hoped
will chufe Prudence, not Rashness for their Guide,
Reason, not wild Passion, to preside in their Deli
berations. As a Citizen of the World, I fubferibe
myfelf a Well-wisher to my Fellow Men.
