COPY OF A LETTER FROM MR W. CL. ADVOCATE, TO D. P. THE AUTHOR, May, 1714.
Most noble Doctor, glory of our time,Parnassus' prince, protector of our rhyme,
Receive this compliment from honest Will,
Who's just returned from our kind Cowie's Mill,
With troops of gypsies who molest our plains,
Raze Spittlehaugh, most charming of our swains;
But now all's calm, serene as you may think,
Since Will's turned poet with Lady Effie's drink.
