TO JOHN ALWORTHY, ESQ.
While I, remov'd from noise and show, 
Can write my thoughts just as they flow;
I will, in Hudibrastic strains, 
Give you the humours of our plains:
. . . [54 lines]
And tho' we boast no balls or plays, 
Yet we, on Christmas holydays, 
And other times, to please our fancy's, 
Have what is better--country dances, 
And healthy cricket once a year, 
To make blood circulate the fre'er.
. . . [26 lines, to be continued]
