large lanthorn, Love and Unity.--The American Whig.--
Confusion to the Tories, and a total banishment to briber

  O'er the whole world his deeds disclose,
  H ell now gaups wide to take him in
  N ow he is ripe, Oh lump of sin.

Labels on the left side,
  Now shake, ye Tories! see the rogue behind,
  Hung up a scarecrow, to correct Mankind .
  Oh had the villian but receiv'd his due,
  Himself in person would here swing in view:

Labels on each side the small lanthorn.
Wiles and Liberty,  45.
  See the informer how he stands,
  An enemy to all the land,
  If any one now takes his part,
  He'll go to hell without a cart.
