CHORUS to the Tragedy of BRUT US.
By ALEXANDER POPE Efg
STROPHE: L
E shades, where sacred truth is fought ;
Groves, awbhere immortal sages taught :
Where beav’nly wifions Plato f'rd !
And Epicurus lay infpir'd !
dn vain your guiltle/s laurels ffood
Unspotted long with buman blood.
War, borrid war, your thoughtful walks invades,
And fleel noaw glitters in the Mufes’ shades.
ANTISTROPHE. L
Ob beav’n-born fijters ! source of art !
Who charm the jenfe or mend the beart 5
Whe lead fair Virtue'’s train along,
Moral Truth, and myfiic Song :
To what new clime, what diffant fby,
For/faken, friendlefs, shall ye fly ?
Say, will ye bless the bleak Atlantic shore ¥
Or bid the furious Gaul be rude no-more 2
FSTROPHE ¥,
When Athens finks by fates unjust,
When wild Barbarians [purn bher dust 3
Perbaps ev’n Britain’s utmost flore 5 ,
Shall cease to blufb with firanger’s gore 3
See Arts her savage sons controul,
And Athens rising near the pole !
STill some new tyrant lifts bis purple hand,
iAnd civil madness tears them from the land 2
ANTISTROPHE 11,
e Gods ! what justice rules the ball 2
Freedom and arts together fall 5
Fools grant whate’er ambition craves;
And men, once ignarant, are Slaves,
Ob curs’d ¢ffeéis of civil bate,
In ex’ry age, in ev’ry slate!
Still avhen the lust of tyrant pow’r succeeds,
Some Athens perifbes, some Tully bleeds.

ÜBLIC Notice is hereby given, that a petition
P hath been preferred to the General Court by
'T'homas Odiorne and others, a committee in behalf of
the new parish (so called) in Exeter, in said state, set
ting forth, that Nicholas Gilman, jun.formerly of said
Exeter, (now deceased) did, by his last will and testa
ment, dated January 28, 1745, give and bequeath a
certain dwelling-house and tratt of land in Exeter
aforefaid, in the manner following, viz. W
I give and bequeath unto my brother Peter Gilman,
Esq. and Mr. Daniel Thing and Samuel Gilman, Esq.
all of Exeter aforefaid, my dwelling-House, barn, or
chard, and twenty-two acres of land on which they
stand, and adjoining to them, be the {fame more or less,
with all the privileges and appurtenances thereto be
longing or in any ways appertaining, which land is
bounded as followeth, viz. beginning at the high way
by my brother Peter Gilman’s land, near the brldge,
commonly called the great bridge in Exeter aforefaid,
and from thence running southerly and fouthweiterly
by said Peter Gilman’s land, until it comes to land
heretofore belonging to Jonathan Folsom of faid'Exe
ter deceased, and from thence to run by the land that
was said Folfom’s until it comes to the southerly cor
ner thereof, and from thence to run northwesterly
bounding by the land which was said Folfom’s, until it
comes to the southerly corner of Jonathan Gihaan,
jun’rs land, and from thence to run southwesterly
bounding by the land belonging to the heirs of Natha
niel Gilman, Esq. of Exeter aforefaid deceased, and
by Samuel Gilman, Efq’rs land until it comes to the
aforefaid Peter Gilman’s land, and from thence to run
southwesterly on a straight line by the said Peter Gil
man’s land, and by land I purchased of said Peter Gil
man until it comes to the great freth river, and from
thence to run down said river bounding on every part
thereof until it comes to the highway by the bridge
aforefaid, and from thence to run westerly by said
highway to the bounds firt mentioned ; to be impro
ved by the said Peter Gilman, Daniel Thing and Sa
muel Gilman, for and towards the {upport of a mini
fler or ministers, which shall or may hereafter be fet
tled in the ministry in the church of Christ, which
usually meet or aflemble together for the public wor
ship of God in the new meeting-house lately ereted in
said Exeter, on the northerly fide of the highway
which leads from Exeter old meeting-house to Kings
town and between Mr. Josiah Gilman’s dwelling
houfe and the dwelling-house of Mr. Joha Dean,
in said Exeter ;——or for any other pious ufe—
according to their direttion, or to the dire&ion
of any two of them,—as lang as they, or any
two of them f{hall live, and be capable and agree to
improve the said premises for the uses aforefaid, and in
case of refufal, incapacity or decease of any two of
them, my will is, that the said premises thall be im
proved for the uses aforefaid by the deacons of said
church, when there are any such, and if said church
shall at any time be without deacons, or in cafc of said
deacons refufal, or incapacity to improve said premises,
my will is, that said premises shall be improved by such
person as said church shall make choice of from time
to time,to improve the fame. And my will is, that the
yearly rent or income of the said premises shall be ap
p}_icd to the uses aforefaid, and no other forever here
after,
They also further shew, that the said premife® have
to this time been used and improved as aforefaid for a
parsonage ; that two of said persons, to whom the de
vise was made in trust for the use aforefaid, are decea
sed ; that it is doubtful whether any other persons can
legally hold and improve said premises for the use
aforefaid agreeably to the pious intention of the donor :
That the inhabitants belonging to the said new parish
taking the premises into consideration, did at their mee
ting on the 29th of March last pass a vote to prefer a
petition to the General Court, that the above said land
and building might be confirmed to the said new pa
rith, and appointed them a committee to make appli
cation for that purpose : Wherefore they pray that an
a&t may be pafled for confirming the land and building
aforefaid to the said new parish, that the pious inten
tion of the donor might not be fruftrated.
Upon which petition the General Court ordered,
that the petitioners be heard thereon before them on the
firft Friday of their next feflion, and that in the mean
time, the petitioners cause that the substance of the
petition and order of Court thereon, be published three
weeks fucceflively in the Neav- Hampjbire Gazette, that
any person or persons may then appear and f{hew cause
(if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be
granted. Attest,

Portsmouth, September 7, 178 <.
[ Cockermouth, &e. | :
STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
ÜBLIC NOTICE is hereby given. that apetition
P hath been preferred to the General-Court, by the
proprietors of CoCKERMOUTH, in said State, setting
forth, that in October 1780, "the State made an A¢t,
entitled an A&, to survey and eftablith the bounds of
sundry towns in the counties of Strafford and Grafton,
which towns are particularly mentioned in said A¢t 3
and also, in and by said A&, among other things,
impowering a committee to survey and lay out the fol
lowing towns, viz.
Rumney,; Wentworth, Warren, Plymouth, Campton,
Piermont, and Orford ; and a return of said survey
being made into th: Secretary’s Office under the hands
of {aid committce, orany three or more of them in one
year from the pafling said A&, should be binding and
conclusive in law upon all persons upon certain condi
tions and limitations therein mentioned, ———
That the running of the lines of the aforefaid towns
will be very detrimental to the town of Cockermouth,
for the following reasons, viz.
1. That although said Act sets forth, that publie
notice had been given, aand no person had appeared to
oppose the fame, yet that the proprietors of Cocker
mouth, who are mentioned in said A&, and are mate
rially concerned in the ifflue of running {zid - lines,
never were notified, neither was said Cockermouth
even notified as a town. : -
2. That the lines of the towns of Lime, Dorchester
and Cockermouth, were all surveyed by order of the
Superior Court for the Province of New-Hampihire,
more than ten years ago, which {urveys were made use
of in trials of actions at law, then depending, between
the said proprietors of Cockerthouth and Plymounth
and that agreeable to said surveys, said proprietors of
Cockermouth recovered in all aétions, and have con
stantly poffefled, occupied and improved said lands,
paid the taxes thereof, and defended the fame againgt
the common enemy, throughout a tedious war, and
that a considerable part of the land in said Cocker
mouth, has been fold for State and proprietary taxes
within that time.
3. That by the return of the committee, who were
authorifed by the before-mentioned A&, they are in.
formed, that the town of Plymouth will have one lina
of about two miles in length more than their charter
gives them, whereasin fact, it appears, that they thould
ceme to a point, and leave out the said line of two
miles, whereby a very large tra&t of land is included
more than Plymouth charter contains,
Wherefore they pray, that a day of hcaring may be
afligned them, and that in the mean time, the said town
of Plymoath may be ordered not to make any affefment
upon the poles and estates of the inhabitants within the
claim of the townthip of Cockermouth, until the boun.
daries of said Plymouth and Cockermouth, {hall bhe
established by the General Court, and that they would
be pleased to pass such farther order thereon as they in’
their wifdem shall think fit.
Upon which petition, the General Court ordered,
that the petitioners be heard thereon before them, on
the fecend Tharfday of their next feflion, and that in
the mean time the petitioners cause that the proprietors
of Plymouth be served with a copy of the petition and
order of court thereon ; also, cause that the substance
of said petition and order of court thereon, be publith
ed three weeks fucceflively in the New. Hampshire Ga
zette, that any person or persons may then appear, and.
shew cause ( if any they have ) why the prayer thereof
may not be granted, P
