A PARODY ON THE BRITISH COMMISSIONERS LATE MANIFESTS AND
PROCLAMATION.
In merry spare us, when we do our best
To make as much waste paper as the rest.
[signed] Juvenal.
  To public bodies, and to all
  That colonies we late did call;
  Even, Sir Harry, and my lord!
  (All men of mighty power in word)
  Do write unto the world at large;
  This long lost speech and dying charge!
. . . [18 verses, signed] Aristophanes.
