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 increas'd, 5 per Cent. the vile Property Tax;
Who thought themselves safe, in their snug little
birth,

And
gave themselves up to Carousing and Mirth;
Who slept ev'ry night, upon Pillows of Down,
Abhorring those PATRIOTS,

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
THE THIEVES,

Who would plunder the TREASURES
That lay in the HOUSE that Jack built.

"

END OF THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT.

"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,

[ocr errors]

the afflicted and sad,

The terror alone of the:
impious and had.

He embroils not himself

with affairs of the State,

And, though closely alli'd,

keeps aloof from the great;
of

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,
Yet feed not the hungry, nor cover the bare;
Who prate about Liberty, Virtue, and Reason,
Whilst plotting Destruction, Rebellion, and Treason;
And pretending at once, to destroy Superstition,
Lead their blind-folded votaries headlong to perdition.
Against these blasphemers and hollow deceivers,
This "Priest of the Temple," warns all true believers,
Exhorting the poor to hold fast by the Bible,
And leave all the rest to the children of libel;
To look up to Him to whom mercy belongs,
Το protect them from ill, and redress all their wrongs;
Assur'd of this truth, that we read in the word:
"They shall, ne'er be forsaken who trust in the
LORD."
