TO THE PRINTER.
PERMIT a filly, trifling girl,
For once to fill your -froet's corner ;
bue cares not though the criticks fnarl,
Or beaus and macaronies fcorn her.
She longs in print her lines to fee •
Oblige her (fure you can't refufe it )
And it you find her our, your fee
Shall be—to kifs her-*—ifyou choofe it.
Perhaps you’ll think the fee too fmal),
You would not think fo if you knew her ;
For fhe has charms, confess'd by all,
Who have the happinefs to view her.
The favour that to you (he proffers,
Has been lolicited in vain,
And many flattering fpltndid offers,
Rejected with a cold dildain.
Sh* fcorns the man however pretty,
Hnvever riches tound hini flow
However wife, or great, or witty.
That's to his country's rights a fee.
He that, to flitter folks in power,
Mis country's freedom would betray,
Defer Yes-the gallons every hour,
Or worfe—to feel a tfyrani's fway;
Mav fnch, alone, be unprotected,
^Byjultlce, and hy nature’s laws;
A.iJ •<> tidporic power {objected,
Suffer the iiiifcries they caufe.
To fcorn them is each female's duty ;
Let them no children have, or wife;
M iv they-ne'er meet the (miles of beatify,
Nor any focial joys of life.
