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 .
