YTTELL, Mr. Printer—as of late.
Convention fat in free debate.
Insider duly to revile
And guard our rights with eagle eye?,
To mend them where,foever torn,
'And patch in places fiTriy worn—
I took a feat in gaiter,,benoh,
To hear the* daily eloquence, r ^-
Nervous and frohg „ brafi criirob, ,
And fweethf comb in Sampson's lien.
Which flow'd in Ciceronian lira ini^^
From heaas compos'd of tongue R^d

The Bill of Rights Gift underwent.
Tne chemic force of parliament,
Wherein majority agreed,
That all mankind were Edam's feed',,
And had an equal right by dacure, t
To certain grants from God-Creator ,
This was the general voice—(ho feme
(Who prophecy of things to come)
Contended, that great Nature's. God,
Had plac'd the governmental rod
In favorite hands, with power taufe it,
In whipping rebels, when they choefe it,
And plead their special reason for't,
That they are much the better fore,
By plastic hands much more refin'd.
As weltin body as ip mind ;, .;
Therefore, b, reason mathematic,
God made g. few atiUoc, atie, -
With full prerogative to rule,
No matter Whether wife, or fool—
It muft.be so— for who (with eife)
Can stem the current of decrees ?
Upon this eaf, ground 'twis orged,
That legiffarion might be purged
Or every thickfcvll'd : , muddy head.
Whole lining is compos'd of lead ;
And that all power of l^gifyno^
Rs plac'd in men of peneLrltidri,
Os whom ('tisafeertain'd of date)
There are but far, in the State ;
Who,4fempow r'd with full commission
Would legislate with expedition;
fdakeJzws and things for simple theep,|
More just, more gender and more cheap,'
More fafe for any ch,iftian flocks;
Because they're always orthodox ! —
And furthermore, that kind of rats
Which some folks raatofoerdfr,„
Will never bite—like bugs=ahd fleas ;
And flily eat—the public cheese,
It may htfo-~bax yet—pefhafii,
Tis.be4 to keep=a cat—arid , ra^s.
The next atehiefrement, worth atten<
(Whiffi felt the hammer of Convention)
W-?s that heroic c4»,-/e ria%
Whereby & Common Pleas were ftafoj„
Condemn'd to emdnheir wicked days, 1
By magic forceof yeas and nayst,
So vicious meur for breach df law, .
Once felt the freight of^arhpfdnbjaw,
Which, tho devoid 41tooth or marrow,

And makings two-pound ihot four priori-;

Which, elevated two degrees;' s )
Will overshoot the murder'd plea£
And which, when fin'd across the tfehcfa,
Will Iqdge in the Superiour bench ;
When justice holds her golden bilahte,'
• And weighs all coins, from mites, to

so fecred to a rigid Mahometan, a pa

general election to a freeholder, as a

the delate paper gives, an account
of a naval armament fitting out against
Old England's enemies, he toasts the
Admirals and Captains in half points a

with loyalty, arid goesto tied with his
head full of fevtnty-fours, sixty-sours,

A newspaper, whpfe.Q^gQitudo is so

It is a .bill of fare, containing , all the.
luxuries, as well as the necessaries of
life. Politics, are now the roast ^etf of
the times, a dish equally famptuous to
the king and the cobler : Poitr, is ,lumb
')#&#/§ and palatable only,' to thelo

One period's affe&ions lie in thi
geeks, arrivals of Meets, &c. another
, in battles, a third delights in anecdotes,
