    FROM A LATE LONDON PAPER.
The fo/lowivg SONG, bi Piter Pjmdar, prepared for[ the
alluded to, and humoioi'Jly given as the production of t.<e o
Thomas PAINE. \
COME good fellows all—Confufion's the toast,
And (uceefs to our excellent cause :
As we have nothing to lose, lo! nought can be loft,
So, perdition io rnonarchs and laws!
France shews us the way —an example how great .
Then like France let us stir up a riot :
Mav our names be preferv d by some damnable feat,
For who but a wretch would lie quiet?
As wc all arc poor rogues, 'tis most certainly right,
At the doors of the rich ones to thunder,
Like the thieves who Yet fire to a dwelling by night,
And come in foi a {hare of the plunder.
Whoever for rriifchief invents the heft plan,
Best murdcts, sets fire, and knocks down,
The votes of our club (hall be given to that man,
And Hemlock shall form him a crown.
Our empire has tower'd with a lustre too long,
Then blot out this wonderlul fun ;
Let us arm thrn at once, -ind in confidence strong,
Complete what dark Gordon begun.
But grant a defeat—we are hang'd and that's all,
A punifhmcnt light as a leather;
Yet we triumph in death, as we Catalincs (all,
And go to the devil together.
LINES
On Peter Pindar's Ode to Paink.
BROTHER Peter ! your Muse very brilliant h;;s been,
In describing exploits, ol a good King and Queen,
Due praise on the Prmceffes too, you've beftew'd ;
There your p?n with the honey of Hybla has flow'd :
And for many droll things we return you our thanks—
For Rozzi, Piozz;. and great Sir Jo. Banks.
Well have you arretted Sir Joseph's bold treason,
The grand purple Emperor, daring to fcize on !
But if mere roving Royalty, iudg'd by your betters,
Is fafejl in caf< s of glass, or in fetters,
Think how highly expedient to keep in close durance,
Thole Emp'rors, who Ihcw a despotic dfiurance!
Tho' T love (brother Peter) a jest at my heart,
Yet on Politicvery dull jests vou impart;
Deep, the ocean of Government doctrines! — beware !
Your Muse on this ocean, fhou'd (land ftilJ, and flare f
* sis a fubjed too mighty!—thou lafhe-ft in vain
The intuitive strength, wit, and wisdom of Paine!
Pain e, and all anti-Bu rkit rs, regard with a finite,
The rage of the Viper thus biting a file!

AH cease, dear Maid, to po : nt the sceptic drain,
Which tells mc that with Life's Ihoit day
Thy Charms for ever fade away,
And that fond memory treasures them in vain !
No, when the beauteous progenv of Heaven,
Man, from the ftniling lap of earth
Was horn by Reafoninto birth,
Immortal Bliss unto his Soul was given.
Not like the laughing Flow e r s, whose breast
A thousand glittering hues adorn,
Which catch their lustre from the Morn,
And only bid the wand* ring Spoi leks reft.
Whose fragrance every pafling breeze exhales,
Transmitted to the Peasant's (heel,
And fluttering round his thankless head,
As sluggishly he plods to yonder Vales.
No ! for the darling of supernal care,
The finer fabric of his mind
Was not to reckless winds refign'd»
Nor waited on the barren fie'ds of air.
But, when thro' all this trembling mortal maze
The harraf&'d Spirit winds its way,
It druggies to diviner day,
And burns around the Throne where Angels

ANECDOTES
MOLIERE, the great Coniic-Poec of France,
was efteetned an excellent a<ftor. He died
in performing the pare of the Hypochondriac, in
aComedy of his own writing, called Le Malade
Imaginaire, (which is part of a Comedy in En
glilh called the Mother-in-law) on thee 17th of
February, 1679, in his grand Climaifteric. The
Archbilhop of Paris would not allow his body to
be inhumed in consecrated ground, which the
King being informed of, sent for the Archbilhop,
and expoftnlated with him ; but he was an ob
ilinate churchman, and would not willingly con
descend to his Majesty's perfuaiions. The King,
finding him unwilling to comply, desired to know
how many feet deep the Holy Ground reached !
The Bifliop replied, " about eight." " Well,"
replied the King. " I find there is 110 getting the
better of your scruples ; therefore let his grave
be dug twelve feet, that is four below your con
secrated ground, and let them bury him there."
The Archbifliop was obliged to comply ; for Louis
XlVth would be obeyed.
A MAN, by the name oFHerring, being very
lick, and his affairs in a deranged situation, ex
prefl'ed much concern to his brother, liow his
child ren would he provided for. " Hah !" said
he, •' take comfort, dear brother ; he that pro
vided! food for the young ravens, when they cry
will undoubtedly take good care of the young
Herrings. &
