(From the Craftsman, or Bay's [   ]) Journal.
ON BRITAIN.
  Blush, Britain's, blush! at thine inglorious war,
  This civil contest, this ignoble jar:
  Think how unjustly you've begun the fray,
  With cruel measures rous'd America
  To arms; each swain must leave the peaceful field,
  And 'gainst his brethren lift the sword and shield:
  Their spacious commerce now in ruin lies;
  And thro' their land the hostile standard flies.
