FJ.782.101
18 Dec 1782:22 (2/87)
Should Oswald's scribblers call you all that's base,
Abuse your stature and blaspheme your face,
Make you the worst and vilest of your kind,
With not one spark of reason in your mind,
Who would to Oswald's rancorous page reply,
So fam'd for scandal, and so prone to lie?
Still may those bagpipes of sedition play,
For fools must prate, and dogs must have their day;
. . . [16 lines]
And the last horrors of their souls to calm,
Fallon, the priest, console them with a psalm!
