No other found could then be heard
But Federal Laws and Federal Priest ;
So I for interest fake appeared,
A Federal, to keep up the jest.
I placed myfelf in Fortune's road,
Some {peculating Jchemes to try,
My credit at the bank was good,
For they were federal, so was 1.
All forts of Scrip I bought and fold,
Endorsed all notes for Federal friends ;
Alas, they failed, and got enrolled
With Bankrupts :—Here my fortune ends !
Thousands to all the Banks I owe,
My change of date presents to view ;
1 thought the Federal Mill must go,
Surrender all, when time is due !
When tempers with those times were raif'd,
Cockades and War were all the paflion !
1 damn'd the French, the British praif'd
For that was all the Federal fafltion !
Such crouds the Mill Gate did surround,
I scarce could gain an entrance in I
A tedious tajk betides I found
ToJwear and keep my con/cince clean !
My books and papers were produced,
My debts above my worth were found :
By usury's laws I some reduced,
So paid five cents in every pound !
When Adams held the Union reins,
Those times did all their hopes inspire ;
To spread their lies I took much pains,
Expecting to be made a Squire.
1 Cav'd enough from tret and tare
To buy a handsome country feat,
To keep a horse and chaise — and swear
That federal schemes are all a cheat !
NO man's name is better^ known among the er
ratic tribes of Thespis, than Mr. Whitley's ; the
anecdotes arising from his singularity of dilpofition
are innumerable :—This gentleman (formerly the
tr.nager of a company who performed in Notting
bamlhire) having constantly an eye to his interest,
one evening during the performance of Richard
the third, gave a tolerable proof of that being his
leading principle. Representing the crook'd
back'd tyrant, he exclaimed—" Hence babbling
dreams, you threaten here in vain—Conscience
avaunt" " That man in the brown wig there,
has got into the pit without ^ing,
« Richard's himfelf again I"
EPIGRAM.
YOU'-VE ftol'n my ravifh'd foul away—
Mart pity my despair,
Return it to Its place, I pray,
Or take my Body in your Care.
Portjmouth,March <;, 1803. W. C. H—RT
To Fed'ral Caucuses I went,
Voted as they did, right or wrong,
To all their falfhoods gave consent,
To help myfelf and them along !
FORTUNE will various gifts impart,
Sometimes /he'll finite and sometimes frown ;
'lis belt to keep a cheerful heart,
Some will go up, and some go down.
With making Specs 1 firfl began,
And- noted for my wealth did pass ;
Thus thought myfelf as great a man,
As those who graded, in old brads.
When mounted oi a warlike deed,
1 rode like Satan through the sheet!
And always walk'd with so much speed,
I knew no friends 1 used to meet.
TO the honorable the Commissioners of Excise,
the humble petition of Patrick O'Connor, Barney
O'Blany, Patrick O'Flanagan, & Teague O'Regan,

mo time at all, and at times past, be prelent and
absent, and be backward and forward, and behind

aforefaid petitioners, will come and inform, and
give information and notice, duly and truly, and
boneflly and wifely, according to the matter as
we know, and don't know, and by the knowledge
of ourselves, and every one, and no one at all ;
and we will not chert the king any more than
what is now, and at all times, lawfully praftifed.
—And whereas we your aforefaid petitioners, as
we aregentlemen of reputation, and we are Irish
f)rotellants, by Saint Patrick, so we are, and we
ove the King, and we will fight for him, and
against him, and run for him, and from him and
after him, and behind him and before him, at one
fide of him and t'other tide of him, to serve him
or any of his relations or acquaintance, as far and
much farther than lies in our powers, dead or
alive, as long as we live, and longer too.
WitneJs out federal and separate hands in con
junction, one after another all together, one and all
three of us both together.
