Extempore: Upon Reading a Scurrilous Letter
Upon reading a scurrilous Letter in the Public Advertiser, sign'd Major John Spinnage .
I.
Fie foul-mouth'd Spinnage, what in Print
A Lyar, Scoundrel, Fool ,
A Major , and a Justice too!
What! learnt you this at School?
II.
Blush, deeply blush, for this Offence,
Retract your courtly Charge;
Or you will have the World retort,
And think you're All at large .
