3 Jan 1760:11,12,13 (765)
Verses Composed by the Success of the British Arms in the
Year 1750.
Shall echoing joys thro' all the land rebound,
And roaring cannon shake the trembling ground,
Shall th'ambient air be fill'd with jovial cries,
And noisy transports pierce the distant skies,
Shall ev'ry place with gratulation ring,
And shall the muse alone forbear to sing?
Shall she be silent 'midst the joyous throng,
'Nor tune her voice, nor elevate her song?'
. . . [2 1/4 columns, including:]
But here, 'tis thine to cough the pleasing string,
And grateful strains in chearful notes to sing. . .
