AN EPIGRAM,
Written at the time Sir Cecil Wray proposed a tax upon maid servants.
Cecil WRAY told Miss Truth for the minister's aids,He would lay a small impost on all serving maids:
Drop the point, replied Truth, as friend Cecil I've search'd,
For maids in silk, woolsey, and camblet,
And am sorry to say they're mere non-descript nymphs,
For I've found scarcely one in a hamlet.
