TO THE KING OF ENGLAND.
The rain pours down--the city looks forlorn--
And gloomy subjects suit the howling morn.
Close by my fire, with doors and windows fast,
And sweetly shelter'd from the driving blast,
To gayer thoughts I bid a day's adieu,
To spend a scene of solitude with you.
. . . [62 more lines follow, signed] Common Sense. 
Philadelphia, November 1778.
