Nor want by Dogs 70 b contro1A
From Wolf OF Fox here's nougnM
Ills childish s.utf--a mere. bugoearA
All sham--a silly, vile pretence NJ
Torsise a yystem q expease,
For this, my friends, you're yearly shOrr !;
For this, your Lambs are from you torn;
For this, your flesh makes butchers meat,
For hungry Men and Dogs 60 eat;
For this, your SKINS are sold, and tallow,
For this presence SO vain and shallow
For shame, my friends rouse from. your
sleep,
And vindicate The Rights Of Sheep
Those surly cars far from you drive,
Who oa~your hard oppression thrive;
Who, ehurish, circumscribe your roaming
On mother natere's open common;
And strive to keep the flock together
To crowd and lostle one ahother;
When parting would be better thrift,
For each would have more room TO shifr.
Our service, friends, 10 YOU we'll gl7e,
Nor other recvmpence receive,
But that reward winch virtlte finds,
The heartfelt JOY of gearous minds.
We stand in need OF no psesence,
Of!r motive IS bfnevslence.
Then follow Us 10 liberty;
lis but TO NIL it, and be free"
Thus spoke tn archFox ia reasoa's gaise;
lnsiduous, mixing truth with lies,
The wi,less sheep bsgan to crowd,
10 that side where the Foxes soof,
They rals'd their heads and stoc,! il gaze,
Nor more they sport nor mere they e aye.
The Foxes poison'd words sunk. deep
In the weak minds. OF the poor Sheep;
DISTURBED, they haake,'G 30 be at,
A something, which they knew NOT what.
Tha faithful Dogs perceived their plight,
And labor'd hard to put them right.
They Prov'd the reasoning false & NJ xious,
And swore the seeming Dogs were Foxes;
Shew'd them their murd'rous teeth & nails,
Their short ears slouch'd and cropped tails;
But all In vain the sheep were blind,
Nor could see fraud in words so kind;
They grew tumutueus as a sea,
And biated loud fer H5erty;,
Became wild, licentious roue,
And trod their guardians under foot;
Call'd on the Foxes for protection,
And gave themselves to their direction.
The Foxes now threw off disguise,
No longer us'd their crafty lies,
But showing nails, and teeth so grim,
Tore them assunder-limb from limb.

THE FOXES, THE SHEEP AND THE DOCS;

THEFoXEs, THE SHEEP AND THE DOGS;
THE PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUrIoNISTS,
A FABLE,
Supposed to have been written by Mr. Charles Prcntiss
Editor of the Virginia Gazette.
THE Foxes once $50 authors write)
II grave and solemn council met,
And, after long and learn'd discussion,
Came to the following resolution:
"Pesolved, That for the time to come
We will the name of Dogs assume;
Well trim our tails, our ears we'll SLOUGH,
Well lick and fawn and cringe and crouch;
With lies, and many fair pretenee,
Wen gull the Sheep, Sheep haze no sense
And when with tricks we've once made sure
o'em,
Wen Gu. their shroats and then devour EN-. >
This having pass'd without dissent,
To seek the sheep away they went.
Trey found them in pleasant vale,
Fapn'd by the cheering vernal gale;
Where flowers the level green inlald,
Aud trees their arms outrageous spread, (
A chequer'd scene OF sun and shade: }
Some peaceful, Illuminating, lay, !,
While Others with their lam5k1ns play;
Some crop the flowers; and 10 the groves
Some with their mates pursue their loves,
Their faithful Dogs, with care, restrain
Their ,houehlless rambling Ger the plain
And vigiIanl still give III alarm
Upor the least approach OF harm.

While there is ought to be enloy'd

With lib'ral hand to all that lives!

Who says the Sheep themselves can't rulei
Tbe fearful Hares and tim'roas Deer,
To you are an example clear;
