6 I have the honour to inclofe your Lordship a
return of prisoners taken during the campaign, and
am very sorry to add, 1 find myfelf under the ne
cessity of detaining them (fay, keeping them alive)
though at a very great expence and inconvenience,
until the rebels return the King's officers and men,
now prisoners with them, for the performance of
which I have frequent assurances though hitherto
delayed under various pretences. 1 have even al
lowed some of their principal officers, at their earn
est request, to go to their Congress, and endeavour
to expedite the exchange, which being once effect
ed, I Jhall soon rid myfelf of the remaining in
cumbrance.'
The humble Petition of WANT and MISERY:
Addressed to all Christian Readers.
WHILE thro' the drear of froft and snow,
Shivering and Shaking now we go,
0 call a tender eye !
For this good end your wealth was giv'n:
You are the delegates of Heav'n
To flop the heart-felt sigh !
While cloth'd in fur you stand elate,
You cannot feel the wretched state,
You cannot form our woe; ,
Yet must each sympathetic breast
When once it hears how we're diftrefs'd
And how forlorn we go.
When cold and hunger both prevail,
And both with equal force aflail,
To wound a mortal frame,
Bring to each mind a horrid view,
A scene as horrid as 'tis true,
And almost wants a name.
The parent hears his offspring cry,
The children watch the parents eye,
And catch the falling tear ;
Then echo back each dismal groan,
Till soon one universal moan
Of sorrow lends the air.
Tho' worthless objects may be found,
Who justly feel the piercing wound,
Yet be the fault their own;
Leave them to Heav'n, while you dispense
Thole blessings you've receiv'd from thence,
And gain th' immortal crown.
How many pray'rs you'll then obtain,
How many blessings not in vain,
Or undeferv'd beftow'd:
From morn to night, from day to day.
Poor WANT and Misery will pray,
To bless the great and good.
