The following poem was published in the New-York Weekly
Journal, of January 25, 1741-2. At the desire of T. P.
[1]
My Neighbour Gravelook to preserve his store,
Bolts ev'ry window, and locks ev'ry door;
And if a thief into his mansion breaks,
And the least portion of his treasure takes;
. . . [10 lines]
[2]
But when his injur'd country claims his aid,
When foreign robbers would her rights invade;
When the drums beat and trumpets sound to arms,
[Such] self-defence each generous bosom warms;
. . . [14 more lines]
