respect all must admire.

In the feather’d race here an example we find,

Far better than that which is set by Mankind.

How oft have their

galas a tragical end,

One loses a mistress, another a friend—

The wife of a third has elop’d from a ball,

A fourth the next day in a duel must fall.

[p16]

Which reason was given to man to repress.

But now let us tell them, with pride, in their feasts,

To copy the Insects, the Birds, and the Beasts.”

The effect of his speech was immediately seen,

They all roar’d “Rule Britannia” in praise of his Queen.

And as soon as their Monarch had quitted the room,

Without growl, grunt, or grumble, they all scrambled home.

FINIS.

H. Bryer, Printer, Bridge-Street, Blackfriars.
