Father Abraham's speech. To a great number of people at a
vendue of merchant-goods; introduced to the publick by Poor
Richard, a famous Pensylvania conjurer, and almanack-maker,
in answer to the following questions, Pray, Father Abraham,
what think you of the times ? Won't these heavy taxes quite
ruin the country ? How shall we be ever able to pay them ?
What would you advise us to ? To which are added,
Seven curious pieces of writing, viz. 1. The welcome
guinea: a poem. 2. Consolation for the homely. 3. A
grand complement to the ladies. 4. The two sinners, the
Pope and the Devil: a poetical tale. 5. An infallible
cure for love. 6. An Old-Song, wrote by one of our first
New-England Planters, on their management in those good old
times, to the tune of A Cobler There Was &c. 7. Poor
Richard's description of his country wife Joan, in a song to
the tune of The Hounds Are All Out, &c.
Note. Very good allowance to those who take them by the
hundred or dozen. [sic] to sell again.
