We are desired to insert the following Stanzas.
A Gentleman having taken leave of a young Lady, derange,
wishes She will read the following lines.
  Will Maria excuse,
  An impertinent Muse,
  Who wishes her pardon to crave?
  My reason is this,
  Which you cannot take amiss,
  That forgiveness will every one save.
. . . [4 more verses, signed]   D.
To Miss M--------D---------.
