AGAINST LIBELS.
Burnt be the piece, forgot the author's name, 
That dares to hurt a good man's honest fame;
Alarms the virtuous breast with causeless fear, 
'Or draws from innocence a single tear:'
Who pois'nous rage invents the dire disgrace, 
And spreads the blush upon the modest face.
. . . [one more verse]
