To Mr. Parks. Sir, I desire you to insert the following
poem in your next Gazette; and if trifles of this nature
shall be thought to contribute any thing to the
entertainment of your press, I shall, perhaps, from time to
time, transmit you some other small pieces. I am, Sir, Your
Constant Reader, and Subscriber, Musaephilus.
A TALE: Extracted from Shakespear.
When Talbot ravag'd all the plains of France,
And e'en to Paris made his bold advance;
Griev'd at her country's woes, a patriot dame,
Wily and beautiful, Auvergne her name,
With courteous speech and message, sends a page
To bid the foremost hero of the age.
