(From the Boston Evening Post. February 5.)
To whome can riches true contentment give
Repute or trust, but those who pious live?
Love and esteem were never bought with gold,
Tho' for a sum whole countries have been sold.
THE POOR MAN'S REFLECTIONS ON THE APPROACHING DOLLARS.
Inscrib'd to the rich.
If a lawful excuse, I can plead, for my muse,
I presume it will give no offence;
I'm convinc'd by the sage, must, with our silver age
Irretrievable evils commence.
