Text Appearing Before Image:
Toil and trouble, Passions burn,And all is bubble.But jest apart, for scandal forms these tales ;False fiood be mute ; let justice hold the scales,Britons were neer endavd by evil powrs :To peace and wedded love they give the midnight hours.From slumbers pure no rattling dice can wakeem:Who make the laws, were never known to break em. Tis false, ye fair, whatever spleen may sayyThat you down follys tide are borne away.You never wish at deep distress to sneer ;For eyes, thd1 bright, are brighter through a TEAR. Should it eer be this nations wretched fate,To laugh at all thats good, and wise, and great:Let Genius rouse, thefritnd of humankind,To break those spells which charm, and sink the mind:Let Comedy, with pointed ridicule,Pierce to the quick each knave, and vicious fool:Let Tragedy—a warning to the times,Lift high her dagger at exalted crimes ;Drive from the heart each base, unmanly passion,Till Virtue triumph in despite of Fashion. THE END. Actl. The Gbeo-leekc IMIan , Jcene.1,
