While Nameg like these engage our praise
And in tlis Courier proudly blaze;
Forget nut Thou, thy voice In rare

Who style themselves in these base days
Corrupißues Foes.

Rouse sill thy spite ;
Insensible of Fear, or Shaine

Or fear of evil: ,
But still with ardent seal obey
Thy Friend,
THE DEVIL.

If the readerchu e, he may read Liar.
