TO THE REV. THOMAS CLARE.
SEPTEMBER 6, 1779.
While all the quid-nunc tribe aghast lies,
Bamm'd by the present, and the past Lies,
Such desperate here—there such bombast Lies,
Twixt which, small odds, tho' great contrast lies,
(I would to heav'n, they were the last Lies,)
What if we two, whose dim forecast lies,
Bewilder'd in so vague, and vast Lies,
Quit Politics—and meet at Astley's?
