From a lair London paper.
On the late FAST-DAY.
IN this far-fam'd fpot of earth,
Which give th’ immortal Milton birth .*
Is this the toil where HaM£den bjed.
And Ha modem’s tyrant ioit bis head ?
Is this the intuited ground,
For men ofgreatek fouls rennwn'd :
For men who felt as men thou Id feel,
And nobly grafp'd th* avenging iteei,
For men, who have, in nature's facred traufe,
Bar’d rhe'fed arm of war, and fpurn’d the oppref
tor's laws?
Yes, patriots, yes, behold the land,
Once prop'd by many a Iturdy band ;
Bv men who lliew’d the world, that kings,
Oppos’d to men, were only things ;
Yes, view that Britain now combin’d,
With the worlt tools ot human kind ;
Behold her tons, with lavage ire,
Kij>er to quench fair freedom's fire :
And mark her goodly lovereign's piouS ctire,
Who fpreads wide wafting war, and whets the j
edge witli prayer.
Shill I, becanle this fcortroe would fain
Furore t'o France oppreffi»n's chain,
Shall i implore the God of Peace,
To grant 'hat (laughter may increafe ?
No, from iny foul, the war 1 execrate,
And would not join my prayers to 'void a felon's
fate.
If o‘er a murd'rer'fc back yob fling
The purple robe that detks a king •
Or do"-n out a bind of thieves,
In crowns, or mitres, or lawn fl-eves ;
You'll fi id, difguife them as you will,
Thar villiins will be vilLins itM1.
So. Britons, while your warribrs die, J
In the cuis‘d caule ot tyranny, i
Howe'er you fair, pray, weep, or groa’ft,
* Ti$ all an impious cheat, fcuiLt mar*ks you for
his own.
