THE RACE.
Now did the Bagpipe in hoarse notes begin,
Th' expected signal to the neighb'ring green,
While the mild sun, in the decline of day,
Shoots from the distant west a cooler ray.
. . . [68 lines follow]
Doctor, the naked truth, we find,
Don't always please a lady's mind;
Especially, as now's the case,
The mind agrees not with the face;
. . . [14 lines follow]
Marblehead, 29th August, 1769.
[signed] Z. Y.
