 | The fidler's fling at roguery |  |
The Argument to the First Canto.
The injur'd Fidler humbly tries,To lay before the Great and Wise,
Some Specimens of R---g---rys;
In humble Hopes the Good and Great,
Will well weigh and commiserate
The Fidler's hard Fare—and hard Fate.
And when the Truth be brought to light,
They'll please to interpose their Might,
To help the Fidler to his Right:
By making Those, upon the Place,
That plunder'd Him, by Means so base,
Restore his Fiddle, and the Case.
