Hopewell, Hunterdon countv, Nov. 4. iw+
AMAN of your vein, is always in pain,
Unless he is writing of satire;
And. rather than fail, the Ladies assail,
WKq 4«&faj±A of other matter.
Hortentius may write, while he keeps out of fight-
We re determin'd he ne'er shall affright us
From wearing a dress that we like, and profefs
Is provoking to all such as flight us.
We know what you mean,—it's plain to be seen—
By trying the force of your pen ;
to degrade us, while thus you parade us,
but this you can't do one in ten.
For all you can fay, we're refolv'd to be gay ;
And whether a Whig or a Tory,
Such as you we defy, while our heads we keep high,
And that is the truth of the story.
Your taunts and your jeers, with politick sneers,
On our dresses so jaunty and loose;
With scorn in our eyes innuendos despise,
And look on your hints as abuse.
We know from experience, that you are at variance,
With, all things that smell but of tory;
Yet tho' you may puff, we know well enough,
To dress in their taste is our glory.
It's true the dear creatures appear as to features,
Not differei t much from our own;
Yet with miniatures dangl'd and fin'ry fangl'd,
There's none left so handsome in town.
Say, why would you cruel ! deprive of the jewel!
Since now it is all we have left,
To remember the faces esteemed such graces,
Why should we of all be bereft?
Perhaps you'll oppose, by faying our foes
Are the people we copy in dress;
And fay we are fools, and mean cringing tools
To such who have caus'd our distress.
But what of all that, we think it not pat,
And urge for a reason Because,
We think you're no judge, you only begrudge
„ That we fhou'd live under their laws.
let what's that to me, if I can't be free.
And live as I lift while in life :
If others delight in blood-shed and fight,
Mus twe be difturb'd at their ftrife?
Let 'em fay what they will, I with them here still,
For then we'd no checks to our pleasure;
No talking of crimes, nor of the bad times,
For dull thoughts we then had no leisure.
The pleasure we take in loving a rake,
To one of your turn is unknown;
In using our talents to pleasure our gallants,
And make us the talk of the town.
In short, to be plain, altho' it seems vain,
I think there is something so clever
In having them still, tho' more blood they spill;
It's better than parting forever.
And as to your quill, you may flourifh it still,
And Fill you may write Common Sense;
We've assurance enough to contend in our buff,
And with your sheer wit to dispense.
Mr. Collins,
^^ 6 there does not appear a redundancy of news at
