Excerpt from The Patricians: Or, a Candid Examination Into the Merits of the Principal Speakers of the House of Lords Let puling Poets rack their lovesick brainsTo woo their Chloes in desponding strains, Now paint some cowslip's head, or trembling breeze, And tell what every peasant heedless fees;A diff'rent mistress animates my song, To whom all praise - all attributes belong;Nor dare ye lovers! say I sing in vain, 'Tis Freedom, heav'n-born Freedom swells my strainFor her a venal Senate late I fac'd, And all their impious actions freely trac'd, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
