[In satire from the London Magazine for June last, writer
responds to the proposed tax on dogs, to putting a tax on
asses, including a tax for] . . . every dancing ass  2 L
10s, 
every singing ass, . . . 10 s.
   I have put the last article so low, because they are the
least profitable part of the asinine race; but considering
that they are very numerous, they will bring in a good
revenue, and thus become in some measure serviceable to the
publick. . .
