Who blew a loud blast, on the place-hunter's horn, And with Joe Millar's Jests did their Speeches adorn; Who predicted the final success of our foes, Then sigh'd if they sunk, and rejoic'd if they rose; Who swore, when the French were defeated, that we Were kill'd by the sword, or were drown'd in the Sea; Who rail'd against Placemen, till they were in Place, Then sneer'd at their Monarch-nay, laugh'd in his face; Who bragg'd of their Talents, and pass'd a few Acts, And of high renown— The Heroes of Britain-the Gems of her Crown ; Who, despising all Danger, and scorning all Fear, When all was at stake, that their Country held dear, 'Midst Jacobin Rebels, and Friends of Reform, Supported "THE PILOT that weather'd the Storm,' Who devised the means of subduing Who would plunder the TREASURES " END OF THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT. D "I venerate the man, whose heart is warm, Whose hands are pure, whose doctrine, and whose life' Coincident, exhibit lucid proof That he is honest in the SACRED CAUSE." THIS IS A PRIEST made according to Truth, The guide of Old Age the Instructor of Youth; Belov'd and respected by all whom he teaches, Himself the example of all that he preaches ;' The friend of the poor, the afflicted and sad, The terror alone of the: He embroils not himself with affairs of the State, And, though closely alli'd, keeps aloof from the great; Yet dares not against them vile calumnies fling; But, fearing his Maker, he honours his King. A radical friend to the Cause of Reform A true Revolutionist, loving a storm : A storm of the soul a Reform of the heart, A radical change, that bids error depart, He harangues to the people, like Prophets of old; But harangues not for popular favour nor gold. Obedient to all the commands of his Lord, Knows how to distinguish the Bible and Sword. His greatest delight is to teach and do good; His greatest abhorrence the shedding of blood; Hence he cautions the thoughtless, of those to.. beware, Who affect for the poor and the needy to care, W.
