An HUMBLE ADDRESS to MANKIND.

ATIONAL creatures! condefcend to tell

RWhere, in the power of reafon, you excel?

Now o'er the world murder and rapine reign;
Does reafon edge the fword, or forge the chain?
Does reafon urge the war begat by pride?
When you difpute, does reafon e'er decide?
Through filth, 'tis true, I drudge, my food to gain;
Is't reafon teaches you to cringe, to feign?
Wretches who gold and vice alone inherit,
Are they by reason fought before true merit?
That lovely form with rapture you behold,
Does reafon teach to facrifice to gold?
When war, deceit, and bafenefs, are unknown,
From focial joys when you no longer roam,
The force of reafon man may boaft alone.
Though human folly ever meet your eyes,
Add fill the greatest boast—that you are wife!

An HUMBLE ASS.
