From the London Public Advertiser, May [obliterated]
A CERTAIN SPEECH VERSIFIED.
Most gracious S--,
Tax'd as we are beyond our strength.
You ask, and here receive
More than you want, and therefore more
Than men so tax'd should give.
Thus tamely to your royal will
Your faithful commons bend,
And hope, what they have giv'n like fools,
You'll like a wise man spend.
