uThe following lines written by young Friend,
and published at the request of friend the author
Go self-polluted, oathsome wretch,
Disgrace to hnman kind
Go! waste thy substance and thy health,
And brutaze thy mind
Go! haunt the taverns night and day
Go.-live-exst in vain
Go! league myself with every vice.
And barter Peace for Pain!
Go like Demon to thy home-
Destroy each comfort there,
And with thy Borrowing family.
Wiring out the bitter tear.
Enough! Enough if aught remain
Of virtue in thy soul,
Forsake thy mad and oa,hsome train
AND spurn the treacherous bowl. NV. B.
