A S you have now gone through the business for
which you were assembled, and having nothing
further to propnse to you at present, it becomes ne
cdhry to put an end to this sesiion of Assembly; and
I recemmend to you to use your endeavours, in your
several counties, to 'abolish lhnt spirit of gaminv,
which, I am afraid, but too generally prevails among:
the-people, and to substitute, in its place, a love of
ngrsixcnlture, and attention to their private affairs, by
which you will render amolt esscntial service to them
Zmd your ctmntry. I do prorogue you to the third
shursday m june next, and you are accordingly
prorogued to Thursday the seventeenth of june next.
The origin ns half herostics, dedicated to that Gen
, ct t eman who would fain have persuaded us that he
_ had written :1 whole one on Miss Elizabeth Dan;
dridge, osKing William.
IN sleep prbsound poor Piil was laid,
And dreamt that all in this world made
\Vas headlong rushing to its end;
With awe he thought mankind did bend
To the last trump, which call'd aloud
Upon the dead, and ]ivin crnud.
In a cold sweat from bed le starts,
And blowing off his fright by s—s;
He looks around, if he could see,
The cause of all his misery.
A little maggot forth had come, ,
From an acrosiic writer's bum,
And all the night Was crying nut,
anza, huzm, which caus'd Pill's rout!
" Dnmnation seize you," Blusters Fill,
The maggot then began to fill
Hislitt'lc corpus, and look largess '
And thus return'd our friend Pili's chargee'
" Know'st thou, vile mscal, thatsil come
"— From an acrostie writer's bum,
" And if it pleaseth me to bite, ,
" Make clods take up their pens and write? — '
These words provok'd oqctr hero's rage, ' '
And wou'd hnvc rous'd :! greater sage;
On which Pill caught him by the throat,
And forc'd our mag to change his note:
" Do but for'this fault me forgive: \
" A stranger um shere: I live
' Above, full many miles from hence, '
And hope my words are no offence.
A hist'ry osmyself pray hear,
GG
Agreed, says Pill; dismiss all fear.
" For twice ten years my whole employ
" Has been to bite each foolish boy,
Whom, still depending on my might,
" I prompt with-easiness to write:
" At last ohiferving ! alone
" Hammer'd each verse,- since they had none;
" Resolv'd to play a trick, and try
." Th' evcut flmu'd I my aid deny.
" I hit with halfmy force, and Io,
" (Since things impell'd no farther go
" Than to what place the impulse drives)
" My scheme, I see, with wonder thrives.
" A half ncrostic to town came,
" Dandridge, I think's the Ludy's name;
" As soon as th' author hulshad got,
" I run oss: He is gone to pot:
' For when ] less him in the lurch,
" Procecd he could not; nor cou'd birch
" Extort ;! rhyme, when maggot fled:
" For all his pow'rs ofversc lily dead.
' This, Sir, has caus'd me to huzzn,
,,
" That l have now brought off the day,
" From whence conclude, that from his bum
" Hi= verses and urmliics come.
The story pleasi'd friend Fill: Take care,
For of'lhc next. attack ) scnr,
AcroRic writer, lest again
T' assist your ninggot shou'd disdain;
But, to make up, he's told me since, .
When he next bites, hell make you wmcc.
He's rrav'liinq now to his old sqzlt,
Preparc yoursibum, "and friendly meet.
First cock yom- hsiusi, and let him know,
You like not being treated so: _
And, is he should but once mnrc bite,
Write not yourself: Let maggot write.
