By an unexpected Guest at NIA DTSoN's Suppers

How kind 'twas iu MAntsON thus to take care,
For the visit of Britons a feast to prepare;
And then such a delicate mind to display-
To receive any thanks, much too modest to stay:

On RonEa•r TERRY, who met his Death from a Spring Gun,
whilst robbing a Garden. .

Baware the spring-gun's fatal aim;
Torn to a trade of honest dealing,
For woeful are the fruits:of stealing
And learn from Ron Ear's hapless story,
To keep from others—Terri-Tory.
