[signed] Curtius.
A KEY TO THE VIRGINIA GAZETTES. MDCCLXVI.
[Latin quote from Cicero]
I.
Sing muse, what writers, good and bad,
What wisely gay, or gravely mad,
Have shone in sixty six;
Such writers men have seldom seen,
Some give your orator the spleen,
Some sew his fancy fix.
. . . [2 verses]
A Buckskin ample, thick and tough,
Well tann'd, may make a dismal puff--
And ill tun'd organ's bellows;
Methinks I hear a jarring noise
(Forc'd from the scolding keys, by boys)
And C--r cry, brave fellows!
. . . [11 more verses]
