[Introduction to The Centinel. No. XXXVII.]
They would not have me mention massacre,
Forbid my tongue to speak of massacre:
Yet I will find them when they lie asleep,
And in their ears holla massacre!
Nay, I will have a starling taught to speak
Nothing but massacre, and give it them,
To keep their guilt still before them. [signed] Shakespear.
