. . . [3 lines introduction] wrote when the Whitefieldian
farce was at its height in Charles-Town. . . [2 lines]
  Shall Wesley sons, o'er-rule all humane kind, 
  Censure the church, and paint her leaders blind?
  With strong presumption, settl'd into hate, 
  Sow dire confusion, through each quiet state?
  . . . [2 lines]
  And who more fit, to carry on the cause, 
  Than famous Whitefield, fond to gain applause;
  Whose tuneful orphans suit the gilded scheme, 
  Seated at Georgia in a silken dream;
  With the bright boy, that picks the English pease, 
  And darling girl, who sings and sows with ease.
  . . . [4 lines]
  Sermons and prayers, by their influence flow, 
  And shining journals make a Raree-show.
  . . . [17 more lines, signed] Homme-Rouge.
