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. GRUB.
