SONNET, To RICHARD PRICE, D.D. ILLUSTRIOUS veteraa ! in that noble band, arm'd with *eafon's panoply divine, And train'd by virtue, round the radiant Ihrine Of liberty,>a ftedfaft phalanx stand : Friend of all human kind ! whose generous foul, By 110 mean int'reft cramp'd, 110 partial aim, Expatiate-; free, and, touch'd with heav'nly flame, Speeds the large wilh to bless, from pole to pole : Thou wilt not waver in the glorious fight, Tlio* liaie, and scorn, and calumny aIM, Foes long difdain'd ; nor lieed the gorgeous tale Of prejudice in wisdom's livery bright : For sooner lhall the-world' firm pillars fail, Than f r;edom quench her fire , &r knowledge fink in night. EROM THE NORWICH REGISTER. RAGS, Rags, fays a Prompter—And ?the Pa |ier makers, the retailers, and printers and printers devils echo Rags, Rags, But if these people want Rags they must bid a little more on the pound. Two pence on the pound is but a final! cotnpenfation to a young lady for ltooping two hundred times to pick up ihreds, or foi fouling her hands with a dish-clout or houfe-cloth—fie on the man who thinks that Moll and Betty would undertake such small bu siness for such small gains—We have bibles e nocgh in the house already, and Pa buys us our caps, curtains, &.c &c. Ih vain Mr. Prompter do you preach letftures of temperance and economy, anil all for Rags, Rags, unless you convince Pa and Ma, that ha bits of industry and economy are refutable, and that the bitere/l and reputation of their children depend wholly on such habits—for fafhious mud be followed, though the expences bankrupt Pa, and ruin the family The firft thing theiefore is to perfuadt Pa and Ma, to persuade Moll and Betty that no one thing of ever so small value is to be wafted—a pin, a nail, a piece of old iron, » rag is to be saved. I know an estate worth thousands of ponnds which was collected in these very articles, and the man who pofl'efles it is as careful now ot such small matters, as he was, when he not worth ten shillings. Any per -fon may do, the lame—Tis industry and econo my, *yith a disposition to keep one's expences a ( little fhtirt 6f x the income, which gathers the rnofj, old iron, rags, &c. &c. and hoards them up till they command the money, while pride, or falfe ambition, or a disposition to imitate tliofe who are rich, in their foibles, or an idea that saving a ftired is too mean an employ, or does not amply pay for the trouble, is certain to bring the poflcH'or to rags—but not such as he can spare t,o fell—therefore to avoid Rags, save your Rags.
