And coax bold Kate of Ruffia:
-Ally with negroes-gypfies-Danes,
Stab with Scotch Dirks, and Irish + Skanes,
And fcorn the king of Prussia-

We'll make the houfe of Bourbon dance,
When Yankey land is join'd to France,
'Be Britain's thunder hurl'd:
-In triumph let our navy ride,
Whilft honeft Twitcher cries with pride,
"Old England 'gainst the world.”

How are thy fubjects, Albion, bleit!
The East as happy as the West,
-As Pigot's ghoft will tell us :

If on one hero's acts I dwell,
With envy every Scot would fwell,
And Lovat's clan be jealous.

What tho' our debt the greater grows,
We always may defy our foes,

Why should we whiggish zealots fear?
His Grace of York-and cropt Shebbeare,
Are royal fcribes appointed;
-Paffive obedience they will preach,
From all the loyal texts that teach
-To love the lord's anointed.

Moral Gazettes fpread law and truth,
Sedition's venom taints our youth,

Suck'd in from Woodfall's paper:
-Both houses should the king address,
To fave the ftate, and gag the prefs,
-He'll grant an Impri-matur §.

Send Shelburne-Barre-Burke to jail,
-No Habeas Corpus, and no bail-
Will then old Chatham riot!
-From dungeons dark the Yankeys turn,
At Smithfield every rebel burn,

And give the nation-quiet.

The good bishop could not do a more effential fervice to his country, than by deftroying the heretical, feditious writings of this author; at the very time he exercifed his chriftianity to a traitor.-On Mr. Locke's deteftable revolution principles, rebels may be juftified; nay, in many inftances they may deserve the highest applaufe. On his principles (which are now fo univerfally held in contempt) it would be no difficult matter to prove that king, lords, and commons, and both our armies (I forgot Gen. Burgoyne's capitulation) were in a fate of actual rebellion against America. I'll quote Mr. Locke to fhew how he perverts words by his defi-nitions. Thirdly, I answer that this doctrine of a power " in the people of providing for their safety anew, by a new "legislative, when their legiflators have acted contrary to "their truft, by invading their property, is the best fence "against rebellion, and the probableft means to hinder it: "---For rebellion being an oppofition not to perfons, but "authority, which is founded only in the conftitution and "laws of the government; thofe (whoever they be) who "by force break through, and by force justify their viola❝tion of them, are truly and properly rebels: for when "men by entering into society and civil government have "excluded force, and introduced laws for the preservation

OUR public buildings to defend
From the keen lightning's brunt,
Some pointed rods would recommend,
Others prefer the BLUNT.

Let me too, midft this learned throng,
Shew how to fave our structures ;
Alas! we've tried the blunt too long,

We now want SHARP CONDUCTORS.
