For the New-York Packet.
A USPICIOUS hour ! again the fav'ring
'mute
My ardour prompts, nor can my pen refrain :
Shall 1 the kind induig nt call refufe,
Or'blad the impulse by a cold disdain?
Genius of Liberty! do thou preside
The jealous guardian of our wederh sphere;
Here mly thy sanes emerge in lacked pride,
And ev'n exotic vot'ries worship here.
Hapless Britannia! deluded ide!
Loft are thy former virtues, loft thy fame.
Ah ! fad reverie, when Albion's honour'd foil
Ignobly changes to a land of shame.
Arcurs'd ambition, how dod thou dngrace
The splendid monarch, and his feeptre dain :
Will not some future good the blot efface,
Or nought but ills distinguish George's reign ?
Say, shall the sword unsheath'd by tyrant rage
Pro auely glitter o'er no alien land ?
Inhuman tirife! where fires with sons engage,
And bro hers languish by a brother's hands.
Id fated victims of despotic ire,
What crowds of heroes have their breath refign',:?
See Warren bleed ! Montgomery expire !
And greatly fall for freedom and mankind.
Relentkfs war ! Inexorable fate!
Does death exult, superior greatness seize?
Ah! why forbid the heio longer date?
Ah! why not take less valued lives than these?
Nor yet confin'd within the patriot's tomb,
Declines his fame, or moulders with his dull.
Virtue's fair wreath commands eternal bloom;
Perennial honours coronate the just.
Not the rude ravage of oblivi us years
M rit impairs, nor yet decays with age.
The giided tomb conspicuous worth reveres,
And proudly ftamps.it on th' historic page.

Arguments which prove, that not only in taxa
tion but in trade, manufactures and govern
ment, the Colonies are entitled to an entire
Independency on the British Legislature; and
that it can only be by a formal declaration of
the e rights, and forming thereupon a friend
— Qjx^ue with them, that the true and lading
welfare of both countries can be promoted.
- In a series of Letters to the Legislature.
" It is not to be hoped, in the corrupt date of
human nature, that any nation will ne sub
jea to another, any longer than it finds its
own account in it, and cannot help itfelf.
“ No creatures fuck the teats of their dams
longer than they can draw milk from thence,
or can provide themselves with better food ;
nor will any country continue their fubje&ion
to another, only because their great grand
mothers were acquainted. Thisi the course
of hutnan affairs, and all wife fates will al
ways have it before their eyes.''
