Oh deign to state with just precision (Reveal'd to thy prophetic vision, And current in anticipation)

The sum, exceeding calculation,

Of public happiness accruing
From indiscriminative Ruin!

Shew how the wreck of ranks and orders
Shall give us peace in all our borders-
And blest Equality repay us

If we convert the realm to chäos

Shew how, in cutting off a Crown'd Head,

The Rights of Citizens are founded!
Shew us how Freedom sanctions slaughter,
And changes blood to holy water!

When Carlos quarrell'd with his fate,
Admonish'd him ;-" Pray, Sir, be steady;

""TIS FOR YOUR GOOD THAT I BEHEAD YE!"

H. Tooke's Letter to Junius.

Let none contemn as tainted trash
This dainty Reformation-hash,
Much less our Whig-Archimagirus
To set us down to 't so desirous :
But join to eulogize Horne Tooke,
And freely own one Brentford Cook,
Who welcomes us to such Good Things,
Is worth a brace of Brentford Kings;
And, 'though our beef he 's gallimaufryd,
Swear 'tis the best we ever saw fried!

Yet since Fried Cabbage, or, what's worse

To some folks, Frícando of verse
From brain of poet piping hot, is

Likely to parch the epiglottis
Of patient readers, who neglect
Red Lane adusted to humect:

Let me an antidote suggest

Which all allow-" probatum est."

Of old Oporto bumpers nine

Quaff to the Muses' healths and mine!
Thus prim'd I'll set before you soon

A SECOND COURSE to th' self-same tune.—

Cheaper you'll no where read or eat;
Since HALF-A-CROWN defrays your treat:
Of which for Paper wove and press'd are
Two Shillings paid, for Wit a Tester.
And, as plump cits with brandy choose
To qualify roast pig and goose,
"Tis my prescription; "Let a dram be
"Taken cum REPETITA CRAMBE!"-
