If you think the following lines, deserve a place in your
Mercury, as being some reflections on the state of our
country, and also on the bravery of some of our commanders,
by inserting 'em in your next, you'll oblige the public, and
one of your constant readers.
[Latin quotation]
War, mournful war, I sing my country's woe,
The rage of Gaul, our proud insulting foe;
The black'nine cloud, frowns o're our western lands,
From France detested, and faithless bands,
. . . [1 2/3 columns, signed] Respublica.
