7o the KING of ENGLAND.,
Written by T. Parne, B{q. the celebraicd Author
of Common Sense, during the late War.
TI’IE rain pours down—:the city looks for
forn,
And gleamy fubje@s suit the howling morn.
Close by the fire, with doors and windows faft,
And sweetly thelter’d from the driving blatt,
‘Lo gayer thoughts I bid a day’s adieu,
Vo {pend a feene of solitude with you.
Sc oft has black revenge engrofs’d the care
Of all the leisure hours man finds to spare ;
So oft has guile, in 2!l its thoufind dens;
Call’d forth the vengeance of chafifing pens,
That when I fain would ease my mind on you,
No thought is left untold, no paffon new.
From flight to flight the mental path appears
Worn with the steps of near fix thousand years,
And £IPd throughout with ev’ry scene of pain,
from Cain to George, and back from George to
Cain,
Alike in cruelty, alike in hate,
In guiltalike, and more alike in fate ;
Both curs’d supremely, for the blood they drew,
Each from the rising world while each was new,
Go, second Cain, true likeness of the firft,
And strew thy blasted head with homely dust,
In ashes fit—in wretched sackcloth weep,
And with unpity’d sorrows cezfe to sleep ;
Go hunt the tombs, and single out the place
Where eartli itfelf shall fuffer a disgrace.
Go spell the letters on some mould’ring urn,
And ask if he who sleeps there can retarn.
Go count the numbers that in silence lie,
And learn by study what it is to die.
For sure that heart if any heart you own,
Conceits that man expires without a groan ;
T'hat he who lives receives from you a grace,
Or death is nothing but a change of place ;
That peace is dull, that joy from sorrow {prings,
Ard war’s the royal raree-fhow of kings, -
Else why the {cenes that wound the feeling
mind,
This {port of death—this cockpit of mankind ?
Why {obs the widow in perpetual pain ?
Why cries the orphan, ‘Oh my father’s slain ?’
Why hangs the fire his paralytic head, ;
And tells in manly grief, ¢ My son is dead ?’
Why shrieks the maiden, robb’d of ease and
sense. ’
He’s gone, he’s kill’d, Oh ! heaven, take me
- hence?’
Why drops the tear from off the sister’s checek,
And sweetly tells the sorrow she would {peak ?
Why lisps the infant on its mother’s lap,
And looking round the parlour, "Where is pap ?*
Wiy weeps the mother when the question’s afk’d,
And kiss an answer as the eafieit task ?
Or why with lonely fieps does pensive John
To all the neighbours tell, ‘Poor master’s gone?’
Oh ! could I paint the passions 1 can feel,
Or point a horror that would wound like #e¢el,
To thy unfecling, unrelenting mind,
I’d fend a torture, and relieve mankind.
Thou, that art husband, father, brother, all
The tender names that kindred learn to call,
Yet, like an image carv’d in mofly stone,
Thou bear’ft the shape, but sentiment haft none,
Ally’d by dust and figure, not by mind,
Thou only herd’ft, but liv’ft not with markind,
And prone to love, like some cutrageous ape,
Thou know’ft each class of beings by their shape.
Since then rno hopes to civilize remain,
And all petitions have gone forth in vain,
One pray’r is left, which dreads no proud reply,
That he who made you breathe would bid you die.

William Brew{ter
BEGS leave to inform his friends and
the public, that he has removed frony
the house he lately occupied as a Tavern
in Congress-street, to that large and elegant
house in Courifireet, in which President
Langdon lately lived, and which is com
monly koown by the name of Packkr’s
House, where he has opened a
Corree-House and Tavern,
for the accommodation and entertainment
of townfmer and travellers.——The elegance
and commodiousness of his house (which,
perhaps, furpzfles any of the kind in New~
England) with the convenience of its situ
ation, induces him to hope, as well for the
favors of his former customers, as for the
company of strangers, whom he assures,
that neither attenticn ‘or expence shall be
wantiag to render their situation pleasing
and agreeable.~His Stables are large and
airy, with suitable coverings for Carriages.
He would likewise inform such Gen
tlemen as with for private Lodgings,that he
has appropriated cne part ot his house to
the accommodation of Boarders, so that
those gentlemen who may wifth to take
Lodgings with him, may be as retired and
free from interruption, and be entertained
with as much elegance, and as cheap a rate,
as in any private House whatever.
