To the Printer.  Sir, The following you will see, is a Latin
translation of the celebrated Elegy of David, over Saul and
Jonathan;  which may possibly afford some amusement, at
least to the more learned part of your subscribers.  The
Chronicle, I am sensible, is designed for all sorts of
readers;  however, such a piece as this, to most of them,
and even those of the lowest class, can't be less
insignificant than many a play-bill or trifling paragraph; 
therefore your inserting it will much oblige your constant
reader, Phileleutherius. 
. . . [36-line verse in Latin follows.]
