Too much morality you have-
‘Too much about religion ;

With alip.sho.l ghosts, with tins and scales,

Those monstrous fashionable lies-
In other words those novels,
Composed of kings, and queens, and lords,
Of border wars, and gothic hordes,

Of such confounded love sick stall‘,

Or any other nation.
Another cries, l'_'w"aut'more fun,

It constitutes my highest bliss
To hear of weddings plenty ; "
For, in ii. time of general ruin
None suffers from a. drought ‘tis plain,
At least not one in twenty.
I want to hear of deaths, ‘says one,
Of people totally undone
By losses, tire or fever ;
- Another answers, full as wise,
I'd rather liars‘ the fall and rise
Of raccoon skins or beaver.
Some signify a secret wish
For now and then a savory dish
Of politics to suit them ;
But here we rest at perfect case,
For should they swear the-moon was cheese,
We never would dispute them.

Lofty or low, -‘tis all the same,
