Rational Amusements
[_]
For certain worthy Characters of our present wise and virtuous Administration when once they are kicked out of Office.
When Cast-Ill-Ray shall cure live stock no more,
When George Fitz-Hunn, so feelingly humane,
Shall cease to laugh at ruptured Ogden's pain;
20
To what amusements will they then resort
To wear life's tedious, irksome hours away,
And keep their ingenuity in play?
The only gentle pastimes that will please
Their gentle Worship's will, be such as these—
To fry blind pupps—strip kittens of their skins—
To horse-whip frogs, and spit small flies with pins.
