A Cliver Poem made in the Canongate Guard-house, at the Request of several Officers, apprehending Mr. Pennecuik going Home to his Quarters being late.
In
Anna's Days, when all was Sold,
And Merit Starv'd, who wanted ready Gold,
A raw Mou'd Lad, just from his Mamma bred,
Who knew as well as Nurse, the Fighting Trade,
Who never saw Spear unless a Speet,
Who never drew cold Iron save at Meat,
Purchast a Sash to make the Monkey Proud,
Who trembled, when he seed it look like Blood.

Who never drew cold Iron save at Meat,
Purchast a Sash to make the Monkey Proud,
Who trembled, when he seed it look like Blood.
To be continued.
