Classic Poem

Upon a recent Proof of Patriotic V IRTUE .

I.

" Get Money, " 'tis the worldly Mode,
No Matter for the Means; —
That's very true, cries honest Blunt ,
For so in troth it seems.

II.

Of this a flagrant damning Proof,
Ask but at Newgate — there
You'll find a conscientious Group ,
And eke their worthy M — I .

III.

There let the T — — IS groan in Chains,
Their Country's Curse await 'em;
And when they're suffer'd to depart,
Jack K — h, I hope, will stake 'em.
