YTT 11 ILE base, ambitious.minis contend
Vv Their country's laws and rights to
wound,
?),)von, my mefe, the brave defend,
Andto the Ikies their praise re found':
The br^ve, the wife, who in their country's
cause,
Undaunted draw their willing swords ;
Too proud, to own defpotie laws,
Or heed a tyrant's threatening words.
Shall thefc fair isles, where freedom reigns,
And cv'ry manly virtue ffiines,
E'er stoop to wear the galling chains, <'
That llavery for her sons designs?
No! let it ne'er in future times be said,
That we, whole fires were highly fam'd,
To ev'rv feiafe of worth are dead,
Which once their dauntless fouls enflam'd.
Let cowards ffirink from war's alarms,
And tell how dreadful 'tis to die :
A hero loves the din of arms,
And scorns from danger e'er to fly;
When smiling Freedom calls him to her aid,
Chearful her summons he obeys,
W^ll-plcas'd to fnield tlie heav'n-bora maid,
While o'er his head hes banners Ihe displays.
O source of bliss 1 to human kind,
Where'er thy influence is known,
There peace and joy we always find,
The bounteous gifts ofthee a'one ; ,
With plenty all our ferule fields are crown'd,
No mark of want or woe is here,
Secure the labourer tills the ground,
Unconfeious of a fertile fear.
What dark, malignant pow'r prevail'd,
To rouze Britannia's sons to war;
Our peaceful towns and domes avail'd
By war like legions brought from far !
C /peak, inspiring Muse, what dire diffraction
reigns;•
Why brothers dye their hands in gore ;
Why thus ensanguin'd are our plains,
And why old friendihip's now no mote.
Tho' hard to break thro' human ties,
Yet ifour friends commence our foes,
Tlvixt these and native enemies
The good man no diftinffion knows;
Like Brutus firm, t'advance the gen'ral good,
While justice draws the Lining blade,
He minds no claim of kindred blood,
But pours due vengeance on their head.
Yet may this cruel carnage cease,
And brother's hands be join'd again ;
To war succeed a lading peace,
Till time itfelf no more remain !
Then Aall fair Britain more majestic rife,
And George be own'd the belt of Kings,
While from a Union of the brave End wife,
Salvation to our common country springs.

SCRIVENER'S OFFICE,
NEW YOR^
To THE P ÜBL I C.
What amendment in the constitution, and what
increase of neighbourly love there would be,
if greater regard were paid to that so truly
valuable rule " Do as you wou'd BE
done unto."
Jr concerns me in a very particular manner,
to be under the necessity of thus addressing
you, but flatter myfelf the vifibl'e cause will in
part plead ipy excufe:---When I let out to e
ftablilh this Office in June 1764, it was upon
the firia principles of doing justice to my em &
ployers, and rendering them every feryice pof
lible, within my power and ability ; my chief
object in view was that support which, through
your confederate favours, I have hitherto ob
tained, and by which I have received your
greatest approbation of the undertaking. I in
deed had it in my hopes, that an experienced
conduct, added to the approving myfelf a ufe
tul member to society, would one day be the means
to restore, that the greatest liberty a dependent
individual can enjoy, " the full exercise of his
regular profellion;" but in this I have hitherto
been disappointed, and now, from the increaf
ing difficulty of the present unhappy times, I
feel the want of that liberty in a manner I ne
ver expected :---Still to be kept in a disfranch'd
date, alter living so many years a decent inha
bitantof this refpedablc city, is, with great defe
rence, an uncommon hardship, especially confr
dering (unless firft attached) I have never said
or done ought, to give offence; That I have
rather too closely pursued the impolitic maxim
of letting the morrow take care for itfelf, may
be true, but none can fay I have aded as the
bad tenant, who carries the manure off his Lord-,
fliip's farm, for I have cheerfully distributed my
little earnings on the- spot, and ever gloried in
your enabling me to support the character of a
Gentleman, in despite of all my enemies : Of
whom! let the most invidious and designing,
call me by what nick-name they may, W%ig or
Tory, or urge what their own wickedness can
invent to my difadvantage,-—until I ihall be put
into possession of my hil fix feet freehold, this
will be my principle, and this my ever fervent
wish, " That the crown and dignity of my
Royal Sovereign may be fuppbrted, and a spee
dy peace, both lading and honourable, restored
to America, w ithout that effufion of blood which
may endanger a division of this fine country, in
any manner fimilaf to that of the Poliffi Plumb
Cake
As a brother from Adam, &c. nearly return
ing into Mama's lap, I crave your occasional re
membrance of this Office, Upon a firm depen
dance that the business thereof will be ehc&ual
ly executed, and that I remain with great truth",
Your affectionate friend,
And faithful Servant,
Broad-Street, JOHN C. KNAP,
